How about Minolta mn67z?

[@LeonAllanDavis]

I used to own a bridge camera. I also had another camera with which I took pictures of everything else. Then one day a friend told me the bridge camera could be used to take pictures of other stuff. Not just bridges. Boy did I feel stupid!

#5 Kodak PIXPRO AZ652 - the lens is one of the slowest in class f2.9 - f6.7, camera is one of the heaviest in class, 1/2.3 image sensor. There are better options. #4 Canon PowerShot SX70 HS - slow lens f/3.4 - f/6.5, its price tag is in the high end of its class, 1/2.3 image sensor. There are better options for less money. #3 Panasonic LUMIX FZ2500 - decent camera, 1 inch image sensor, relatively fast lens f2.8 - f4.5, fully articulating viewfinder screen, $900 price tag is nearly half the cost of Sony RX10-IV but lags behind the RX10-IV in most if not all features. Still a very compelling camera and my 2nd choice of bridge cameras. #2 Nikon COOLPIX P1000 - It's 125X zoom is by far the leader of zoom, if you need the reach this is #1. But this camera is large, heavy, and imo image quality due to it's small 1/2.3 image sensor puts this camera at #3 #1 Sony CyberShot RX10 IV - I agree that currently this is the king of bridge cameras. It has a 1 inch sensor giving it image quality far above all other cameras with 1/2.3 sensors, it's weather and dust resistant, and has the fastest lens in class at f2.4-f4 across its zoom, But the RX10 IV has a few drawbacks. The view screen does not articulate it merely flips to an upwards angle, lacks a time lapse option, and the 25X zoom is decent but far behind most other cameras.

[@weirdcheesey]

I feel like 25x zoom is more than enough than what most people will ever need. Also, atmosphere distorts the image if you zoom in too much.

[@gloppy101]

weight between all of them are within a few ounces. The Kodak AZ652 is the sleeper camera and a steal at $350.

[@arthurgphotography]

Nikon P950. Has the 83x zoom of the p900 but with RAW support and improved ergonomics. I've sold professional wildlife images with it

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

@@arthurgphotography I would be curious to know what person would pay for an image from that camera with that tiny sensor and slow lens. I’ve shot side-by-side with someone that Had that up against my Sony RX 10 m3 and the image quality of bald eagles was a noticeable improvement on mine over that behemoth. I’m a dedicated Nikon DSLR user for over 20 years and I’m a professional portrait photographer

[@arthurgphotography]

@@Jimmy_Cavallo the IQ is very good if you can keep ISO low. I've owned the RX 10 m4 before but it didn't do well with birds. The P950 beats other cameras in some situations simply because you don't have to crop even with birds. At 2000mm equivalent under ideal conditions it's excellent paired with post denoising software like topaz

[@toke7560]

I have a Panosonic FZ 330. A decent all in one. I tried out a sony mkIv. Was shocked at the focus speed. If it wasn't so expensive this is the one i would choose.

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

For a bridge camera, I like an optical zoom>=50x, fastest shutter speed >=1/4000, shutter triggered via phone app, water and dust resistent, raw image format

[@eddyg1794]

These aren't reviews they are infomercials. Thumbs down

[@chankooncheng]

I was surprised the Nikon p 950 was not listed!

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

I know two different people that shoot with that camera, and I have never seen a sharp image come from either one of them. The sensor is too small.

[@konarr7158]

​@@Jimmy_Cavallowhat is a better alternative to this camera? I want to zoom but with the larger sensor, being guided towards fz1000 ii for example but think it's a different bridge altogether

[@dare2dream-musicproduction130]

Hi thank you for your videos, what would be a good camera for night, and shade time, with a great zoom . ( I picked in the past the Canon PowerShot SX70 HS for it Zoom ) but it does not do well at night time. I never took pictures in my life but since I moved on the water. I am addicted ! Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

[@MrConsto]

So the Sony RX10 had only one negative but it wasn’t that it is almost twice that of the negative pricey Nikon p1000?

[@Gr8putin]

Thats the only reason why i settled with sx 70hs

[@rjrex8]

Canon PowerShot Sx70 HS

[@elego49]

After weeks of research, I still can't decide. They all have compromises, even the highest priced. Don't you wish we didn't have so many options?

[@whiteshadow1771]

Too many choices are a hinderance. NPR, not sure of the year, had a spot on "this American life" where they discussed the debilitating affects of too many choices. It was interesting.

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

All I can say is that I hope you went with the Sony and this is coming from a Diehard Nikon DSLR user of over 20 years shooting professionally

[@MrBillkaz]

Rx10 4 is 👑

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

1000% coming from a Diehard Nikon DSLR shooter of over 20 years

[@maurickcook]

P1000 is my number #1

[@bigbarkingdog2010]

Good bridge camera overview.

[@johndonaldson5126]

I have better cameras but we bought a Panasonic FZ1000 used for $350. We use it on our boat where I wouldn't take my expensive cameras. The Panasonic is only good in well lighted situations but it constantly surprises me producing quite good photo images. A bridge camera is a good entry point for a new photographer. Full auto, shutter speed, aperture, and full manual controls make for an inexpensive training camera.

[@arthurgphotography]

I used to own one it was great. They later made an FZ1000 mark ii with some updates

[@briw4647]

obviously kodak paid you to add that camera there, otherwise, you really need to relook at your list

[@LISTEDGames]

Why do I feel like these videos were made by an AI. Very corporate and clinical..

[@TheOfficialiSub]

I would love a bridging camera but refuse to buy any new tech that doesn’t have USB-C and from what I can tell, no bridging camera has USB-C. Think I’ll get the Sony a6700

[@alis1079]

fz80d came out lately and has usb-c

[@TheOfficialiSub]

@@alis1079I saw! It’s not bad. No stock here yet

[@msgupta26]

You have not mentioned a very important specification: sensor size!

[@TechsYouCantLiveWithout]

You’re right! Thanks 🙏

[@giulianamonticolo6892]

Io ho la kodak az425 è super

[@sjuro54]

The Sony LACKS focus?!? hahaha!!

[@DavidRodriguez-hg6kq]

Kodak sold the name brand to other company.

[@josephguo3429]

kodak? forget it.

[@josephbrady6760]

what is a bridge camera????

[@fickfock8169]

. kodacs 65× zoom is not optical zoom.

[@josephguo3429]

poor quality

[@garyausten5939]

People on Ugly Hedgehog (where I'm a member) agreed with the Sony. I could rent it for my upcoming trip to France/Switzerland, but I've decided to take my regular camera instead. A new RX10IV costs about as much as a premium lens for my DSLR to buy and the rental costs saved would get me extra souvenirs, nicer meals or optional side trips. I bought a used Panasonic FZ200 for a trip to Israel 6 yes ago. The range was great, but I was unhappy with the IQ I got from 12MP (and only if I shot RAW) and limited f/stop options.

[@weiwei-fq2xd]

Nikon p1000 👍

[@josephguo3429]

too costly. not worth.

[@Gamehighlight2023]

I want one, but the only thing that deserve teh money are the lenses giving you the extreme zoom other than thet it is TRASH ! After all there years I am standing with SONY, their picture quality is crisp.

[@josephguo3429]

my kodak bridge camera died after few years, flimsy quality, no more.
