  • For a bridge, is it really a hundred quid better than this?

    Just received mine today and charging it up now. Maybe not £100 better but I got it for £204 on Amazon so the price after I posted has gone up. It also has a viewfinder which I dont think Argos one has and that should keep the camera more steady when using the large zoom.
  • Now priced at £218.95 on Amazon, still not bad though. ^^

  • The new model which replaces this is available fro pre order on Amazon in black for £335.10. Normal price to be £399.99

    A bridge camera offers more than a compact but with the point and shoot flexibility of a compact. This particular model has quite a few features which allows it to act as a good alternative to an SLR in terms of customisation. However, the main benefit of a bridge over a compact is the lens capability.
