Re: Poll - What camera do you use?

So, in a continued effort to further my knowledge could someone explain what a bridge/prosumer is please!?

Re: Poll - What camera do you use?

its a camera which offers more than a point and shoot ( full manual) but has a fixed lens, thereby offering the user a near DSLR control but having the convenience of not having to change the lens etc.
hence the term "bridge" it bridges the gap between compacts and dSLR

Re: Poll - What camera do you use?

I have added my vote, and while I like the poll idea I think it will not reflect the true situation.

I own two DSLR's but I did start off with compact digitals. The poll will not reflect that nor will it allow the members here to add all the different camera bodies that they currently own. So the ones that have both digital compacts and DSLR's will have to chose one or the other in their vote options.

It also doesn't allow for indication if one started of with a compact and then progressed to a DSLR

Re: Poll - What camera do you use?

Hmm, think it really should allow more than one answer as I really DO use all the ones in my sig (and have left out film as not used for over a year now, but might do in 2 weeks time)

Re: Poll - What camera do you use?

You are right, Steve. It doesn't reflect a true situation. As Markulous said, I also use my bridge camera for certain environments. Looks like maybe another poll in a while.

Would members object to a poll which isn't anonymous or do you prefer the anonymity?

Re: Poll - What camera do you use?

I don't have a problem putting my name to anything I post or vote for, or anything.

Since I updated my signature, it does not appear in any post, whereas previously it did! I know the username is on the sidebar, but it's not my name.

I think that should read 'since updating my signature I have taken more notice of it'

Re: Poll - What camera do you use?

Well, I shoot a pro DSLR but I am a long way from a Pro. I just got the fancy camera because I wanted a camera that was fast enough to keep up with my Grandkids. Several years ago, when I bought my Canon MkII, a nice p&s couldn't keep up.
Besides my Grandkids I like to shoot things that have motors attached to them...Except for my lawnmower!!! No pics of that!!!
