Capabilities: They are more portable than a DSLR, yet still include many of the same features of a DSLR without the cost. They also have a large zoom allowing to get close to the Subject.
Limitations: One of the main limitations of Bridge Cameras is that the lens is not interchangeable so the user is stuck with the same Lens on the camera, another limitation is that the sensor is significantly smaller, resulting in poorer image quality. The viewfinder is also normally electronic and not accurate.
