I've been using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 for 2-3 years now, and the main problem I have with it is its small zoom, 12x optical to be exact.
So I've read into bridge/superzoom cameras and cannot decide which is best for me. It will mostly be used for taking photographs of birds, so I seek the help of other birders.
Which bridge camera should I buy then? I've narrowed what I consider the best and latest down to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150, the Nikon Coolpix P510, the Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR, the Canon PowerShot SX40 HS and the Sony Cyber Shot DSC HX200V.
I've heard greats things of the Canon SX40, is it a cut above the rest for taking pictures of birds at long-range?
