My Nikon 950 bridge camera has an 83x optical zoom. Bridge cameras are not for everyone. As a senior citizen, bridge cameras fit my life style as a walker who wants a light-weight camera with a fixed lens and zoom. Here is an honest review of the Nikon 950: https://www.robertallen-photography.com/blog/2020/5/nikon-coolpix-p950-camera-review
This fit lady was quite a distance away when I spotted her paddling northeast on Puget Sound. Her guy friend was ahead of her, but she was smiling as she paddled along. This candid shot was taken last Saturday at Lincoln Park.
Fabulous candid Gloria! I started with a bridge camera and sometimes miss it. With bad arthritis in my hands and fingers, I might soon have to go back to it 🤔
Yep! I started with a bridge camera too! They're awesome! The zoom on my first one was incredible; I miss that. Great shot, and I'm jealous of her perfect posture! Ha ha!
A wonderful candid shot - fav! I too have a bridge camera, a Lumix with a x50 lens. An ideal tool to fit my lifestyle, and certainly easier to carry around than an SLR and multiple lenses.
Beautiful shot. I have a bridge camera which served me very well until I bought my dslr. Max still enjoys taking pictures with it when we go out together.
She's in great shape- and I have returned to using my bridge camera when I'm not using my cell phone because it gives me a variety of choices without the weight of all those extra lenses. Good shot!
