Any love for Bridge Cameras?

[AnTyx]

I've borrowed a Sony RX10 for a weekend. It was nice, I can certainly see the appeal, but you quickly run into the limitations of compromise... you keep wanting more of the direct control of a DSLR or mirrorless (and the big-sensor benefits) if you're carrying something that size. A mirrorless with a long zoom lens is not physically larger - just more expensive and cumbersome to change back to wide-angle mode.

So, there's a place for bridge cameras, but you have to REALLY care about zoom. If you're into e.g. architecture photography and want to take close-ups of details high up on a building from the street - it's great.
