Ok then what do I use for tunnels? Is there a tunnel camera or do you just use a bridge camera and have tunnel vision through the viewing screen?
Your a hoot in Mondays MT.

The main advantage is the cost. One lens does the job of 3 or 4 on a DSLR. There is no changing lens either. The downside is A bride camera has a hard time getting the quality of a DSLR. I prefer the Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR is one of the best bridge cameras.

My dear bandit face, any multi-faceted photographer knows that to transform a Bridge (over troubled water) camera into a Bridge (card game) camera, all one needs to do is simply replace the SD card with a Trump card and follow suit!

You'll be hearing from the ABCA about this joke.

Basically an advanced P&S that allows manual settings. It's between a P&S and a DSLR.
Another good way to remember or define that type of camera; they "bridge" the gap between the little Point & Shoot cameras and the "real" or D-SLR type of cameras.

I have a Nikon Cool Pix 7000. It is a bridge camera. I was told bridge cameras act as a "bridge" to using DSLR cameras because they have many of the same capabilities .....settings, etc, but most don't offer interchangeable lenses. It has been a helpful tool for me, but my husband feels you should go right for the DSLR.
My "bridge" camera gave me time to see if I really liked photography before spending money on a DSLR while learning about aperture, shutter speed and manual settings. I now feel a bit more confident with my DSLR. Oh, also, my P7000 takes great photos!

The bridge camera I'm using now is a Panasonic FZ-50 I bought from KEH camera. This camera cost me $200 in Ex+ condition plus another 100 for some accessories like cards, batteries and some cheap Itchiscratchi toys like a CPL, 2x extender, and a host of other useless filters that came with the kit. I also bought a 1 foot extension cord so I don't have to unplug things to make room for the charger box.
That being said, I'm using this camera as a versatile instruction tool to get the feel of digital photography.It can't be compared to a true DSLR since the versatility it has cannot be changed; the lens is fixed.
So while I'm using and experimenting with my BC, I'm gathering a lot of tips and information on UHH and the links. When I feel confident enough to "graduate" into a DSLR, and when I've learned enough from this BC, I should be pretty close to knowing exactly what I need without going overboard on accessories I would rarely use.
...sorry for the lecture, just the way I see it.
