I don't know much about them, learned a lot on here but I picked up the Sony Hx300. They call it a bridge camera? I like the zoom and point and shoot feutures. Seemed to liked more than Canon or Fuji in the same class. It's not a SLR. You can take 10 pics at a time or as long as u hold the button down but focus stays the same as the original pic. Has a ton of features ( ill never use)and again I really like the zoom and I don't need another lens to carry around. I'm impressed with its clarity. Used it last night, taking pics of my daughters eyelashes at 15' away. Really fine detail. I took photography in highschool and criminalistics photography in college and didn't care to re-learn all the gunk and after realizing how much i'd need to re-learn and spend, I went with this one. And I really like the ZOOM.
