Bridge Cameras

[Picklelilly]

I'm thinking of investing in a camera which will do a bit more than my compact point and click, but dont want to go down the route of a big heavy camera with huge lenses.

Has anyone tried one of these Bridge Camera's which seems to be the perfect compromise ....

Yes, I've had a Panasonic Lumix FZ38 for a couple of years - does exactly what I want, very well. Take a look at these:

Yep - got a very good Sony HX1 - if I can't be bothered lugging the big Nikon DSLR about I grab the Sony & often get just as good pictures - not quite the same ultimate quality, but the flexibility of the 20x lens compensates for that.
