Pros: All in 1 with just over 200 euros

Cons: With a small sensor it fails in the absence of light

Opinion: I have always used bridge cameras for my personal comfort, and since I do trekking have a 20-1200 always close at hand ... well, there is little to say. The quality at the maximum distance is good considering that I spent the fz72 only 218 euros, I challenge anyone to take pictures to the moon freehand or have a 1200mm with this figure. Knowing how to use photoshop (and I had an excellent teacher) you can make beautiful photos, especially and of course with optimal light conditions. You can give if you want a sneak peek at my gallery. Let's face it, photography is not just about cost, you have to give emotions, and my photos were also very popular, lately some choice for the official calendar of the Etna Park 2018. I also printed 70x100 and came out of the posters, I do not complain at all. Of course, the flaw is only one mainly, in the absence of light, you can not expect to make a milky way, but by day and again, in optimal conditions, you can take out photos at LEVEL of equipmentexpensive. Speaking of bridge we are now at the highest levels, think about 2000mm. of Nikon that a La7 journalist confirmed to me that used to go TV videos to smugglers, or Sony with rx10 Mark 4 that spend 1800 euros, ok, but you find yourself a 24-600mm. with lenses Zaiss F.2.4 - 4! rnCerto, we are honest, many of these photos are not commented and praised because those who spend 5000 euros of equipment is convinced that it must do better, but it is not always the case, because the flaw in a photo taken with a "toy" we find, ms is often also found in photos of who has spent money, especially if post is not the maximum.rnVi I tell this, I'm quite followed on social, someone looking at the my photos contacted me making compliments and asking me to make some outputs together maybe on Etna (which I live at 360 for work), as soon as we meet and see the "machine" we remain bad, perhaps for the previous compliments that I they did :) and I laugh ...

Pros: Super-zoom, light weight, robustness, reliability, value for money

Cons: Seeing the price, no one

Opinion: It's the hoe that I've always been in for a couple of years. A great thing to do, always ready to use and reliable. Value for money, unbeatable. To be a bridge is very robust, lightweight and very good. I came back useful even in a movie set for the streets of Rome, where photographers with bright lenses could not access, while I looked like a tourist with an innocuous camera, I could make the floors close to 25mt away. If it had been tropicalized, it would have been better, but with about € 250 you can not expect better. A bridge for beginners, but also useful for reporters, so it does not have the beauty priority ... even if it does not hurt anything.

Pros: Zoom, lightness, excellent image stabilization

Cons: Construction

Opinion: I bought this bridge for a simple goal: to have a sort of "monocle", also able to capture the scene (unlike an eyeglass / true binoculars)! :) It seems silly, but I assure you that is its true nature. Because it is cheap I would say that this lens reaches great. You are in the mountains, you see something in the distance (eg a chamois or a marmot) or are visiting a new place and you see a detail in the distance, what do you do? Take your superzoom and observed as calmly and above all with a great (really good!) Image stabilization to the most driven zoom. Needless to say, the pictures taken with the maximum magnification lose a lot in quality (at greater distances you notice the aberration, the atmosphere and the aerosols they lose much sharpness distant object observed and enters low light) but as said is not that's the point. His goal is to make you bring home that memory, that detail, which otherwise would have missed. It's not foundno zoom so driven to this price (except in direct rivals, but then the question also applies to them! XD). Obviously there are good lenses for SLR or mirrorless, but being the price so far from this, the use is completely different, as well as the users and the nature of the project. I would say that for the money spent, you can have so much zoom (not for great shots in the distance, rather to "observe" in the distance, as mentioned above) is really a great satisfaction. Camera promoted to its target of use! PS: I wrote that in false flaw in the building, in fact the materials are very cheap and it seems fragile to handle; The positive side of this is its low weight.
