Wow, here I am back at Step 1, with a question. What was the bridge camera you referred to? Do you still use it?

Hi Steve. To be honest, the entry level bridge camera (I can't recall its Canon model number offhand) didn't work too well, mainly because the auto focus was up to latching onto birds . Also, it lacked a viewfinder so we could only use the rear LCD screen which was next to useless in bright light. We soon replaced it with a Canon SX40 which has an electronic viewfinder and better auto focus but it still wasn't good enough for bird photography. The first camera got dropped somewhere in Thailand and the LCD cracked making it even more useless but we still have the SX40 (lying unused in a drawer). I now shoot with a Lumix GX80 paired with a Leica 100-400mm lens - a lot heavier but it better suits my requirements.
