I think most people wouldn't classify a no zoom camera as bridge like the Sony RX-1 or Leica Q.

Yep, one can call something a bridge, might not be correct, but one can call it that.
(Is a pen a bridge from the mind to paper?)

Soul Doctor and Longshadow are Spot on.... Why complicate it ? I have the FIRST Sony bridge, the DSC-R1, and it prob has the very best micro contrast with the incredible Zeiss lens of anything I own. We don't have to get into the weeds to define a Bridge unless its a Bridge to nowhere... Bob

I have a Sony Mavica CD-300 that's older than the DSC-R1. The CD-300 falls into the compact bridge camera category.

A Bridge Camera is simply a DSLR with a fixed (non-interchangeable) lens, usually a zoom.
Many Bridge Cameras now have an EVF, in other words are mirrorless.
Price depends on lens quality and zoom factor.
Before EVFs, the "SL" out of DSLR was another way of saying "Through the Lens" with the R standing for the Reflex prism, whether incorporating an instant return mirror or, in the days of film, a mirror that reset when the film was wound on.

I always wonder about what a bridge camera "bridges", from what to what. I can see how beginners can become confused, especially if they started out with one and are completely happy with the results. I can understand a distinction between pocket cameras, fixed lens cameras, and system cameras. Oh yeah, and cameras that look like cellphones.
It bridges the gap between two commonly used digital formats.
You can also use this camera on a bridge.

Interesting how a simple description of a hybrid between compact and ILDSLR can turn into a 3 page post... No wonder the world has gone fruit loop.
