If you're looking for something more affordable but still capable, the Panasonic LUMIX FZ1000 II is an excellent option. The dense feature set, build quality, and excellent sensor make this one of the most capable bridge cameras we've tested. The camera's built-in Zeiss zoom lens also covers a fairly wide-ranging full-frame equivalent focal length of 24–600mm, meaning you can shoot everything from landscapes to far-off wildlife. That aside, it's also a very well-built camera, with weather-sealing, a generous handgrip, and premium touches like a top display to check your settings and battery life at a glance. Plus, you get Sony's typically reliable real-time autofocus system.

Overall, it captures great photos straight out of the camera, with RAW shooting and manual controls for more advanced users. Its 1-inch sensor is larger than most bridge cam sensors, and its stacked design keeps the rolling shutter effect to a minimum and allows for blistering 24 fps burst shooting.

The Sony RX10 IV is the Rolls-Royce of bridge cameras, and though it comes with a matching price tag, it's the best all-in-one camera you can buy if money is no obstacle.

While their smaller sensors don't offer the same image quality as crop sensor and full-frame cameras, they combine the simple usability of point-and-shoot cameras with unparalleled zoom range, making them a good fit for casual wildlife and sports photography or family and travel photos.

If you aren't a pro but still want a lot of zoom range in a convenient all-in-one package, a bridge camera (so-called because they're meant to 'bridge' the gap between point-and-shoots and DSLRs) can be a good solution.
