The point-and-shoot, once thought to be killed by the smartphone camera, is back with a vengeance. But as trends revive compact cameras, I’m left wondering about the point-and-shoots' bulkier sibling: the superzoom bridge camera.
The bridge camera earned its name from “bridging” the gap between the point-and-shoot and the DSLR. Bridge cameras tend to still focus heavily on user-friendly auto modes, but the bulkier format means the category can often fit a much longer zoom lens inside, which is why bridge cameras are also sometimes called superzoom cameras.
