Mic one sounded the best of 'em all and may be acceptable if you keep it at an appropriate distance from your mouth.
The rest I'm guessing are not the correct level output for your camera. This is why I suggest folks take their cameras with them to the store to test mics with 'em before they buy. Each mic is a bit different. Without a mixer between the mic and the camera there's no way to adjust for these inherent differences in mic signal output. The mics you tested are too hot (too much signal) for your camera.
