The next is a Bridge Camera. The name bridge has been coined because these cameras “bridge” the gap between the point and shoot digital camera, and the DSLR. They’re for a photography enthusiast that still wants to ability to just point and shoot, but get a better quality image than a standard camera. That said, bridge cameras do often provide a great range of adjustability on the settings.

Camera Resolution – megapixels

Megapixels are how many smartphone and camera manufacturers are selling their cameras, on the basis of “the bigger the better”. This really isn’t the case, the resolution of a camera is important, but its not the only factor that produces a good camera, in fact the lens is often considered to be more important than the camera itself. However resolution does provide a good figure in order to benchmark one camera against another, which is why it is so commonly used. So our advice here is to keep an eye out on the resolution of the camera you’re looking to buy, but don’t let it be a deal maker or breaker.
