Super Zoom & Bridge
Super Zoom / Bridge cameras are cameras that can be used for everyday photography but also produce more advanced photography whenever the mood takes you. As the names suggest, these cameras are a bridge between digital compact cameras and DSLR cameras, and feature impressive optical zoom capabilities.
You get the best of both worlds: the precision lens of a DSLR (although it's a fixed lens) and the more advanced image technology often found on these cameras. They do, however, come in a body that's closer to compact cameras in terms of size, weight and ease of use.
All of the leading manufacturers now produce super zoom / bridge cameras, and the sector is growing. Some of the latest models are proving popular with both critics and fans of photography. So, if you want compact, high-performance cameras that are equipped to produce a range of photography, a Super Zoom / Bridge camera is undoubtedly for you.
