Bridge cameras – the all-in-one solution between compact and DSLR

A bridge camera is a type of camera that combines the features of a compact and a DSLR. It has a fixed lens, but manual control options and often an electronic viewfinder.

Bridge cameras offer a lot of zoom , versatile settings , and are often more compact and lighter than DSLRs. They're ideal for those who want more than a simple compact camera but don't need an interchangeable lens system.

Compact cameras are smaller and usually fully automatic. Bridge cameras, on the other hand, often offer a stronger zoom, manual modes, and more control—similar to a DSLR, but without interchangeable lenses.

For ambitious amateur photographers, travelers, or nature enthusiasts who value flexibility and high zoom performance – without the weight of an SLR camera.
