I am curious about how many UHH readers primarily shoot with bridge cameras. My only camera is a Canon PowerShot SX60 IS. I understand its limits and am very happy with the results I achieve. I mostly photograph birds and landscapes. I'm interested in whether other photographers would discount my work due to the camera I use.

You've said it yourself! You're very happy with your results. That's all that matters. I loved the results I got with my Canon SX50 and then made the mistake of selling my "mint" camer last August. I'm now looking for another one.

I don't know whether or not anyone would discount your work due to the camera you use, but they shouldn't. I have seen great images from that camera, and I use the SX50. I hope we can see some of your photos. Good ID on the Pokeweed the other day, by the way.

Robert Kincaid's bridge camera was a Nikon F.

This woman in Ottawa started out using Micro 4/3rds then switched to nothing but bridge cameras. She is currently using the Nikon p1000 hand held take a look at some of her photos she has won awards so obviously something is working right.

I don't know about an SX60 IS but I do have an SX60HS that I use quite often. I call it my puppy cam because I use it fairly often to photograph my dogs. It's quite handy because of its weight. My every day shooter is a Canon 5DIV with an EF 28-300L zoom lens, which is a fairly heavy camera. Sure, the DSLR has about twice the resolution of the bridge camera and much, much larger sensor, but for a camera I only paid around $330 for, it takes pretty good photos.

It all boils down to knowing what your camera can (or can't) do and using it to the best advantage of its capabilities.

It’s the image that counts not the camera. I’ve seen some really beautiful pictures taken with an iPhone.
