APS-C bridge
AS AN enthusiastic user of bridge cameras over the years, I totally agree with John Gordon's view in4 January). And following his line of thought, I would like to suggest that the following is feasible and could prove very popular: a ‘bridge camera' with a lesser zoom (say, 28mm to 200mm, even 150mm) to keep size down, but with an APS-C sensor. Personally, I have become more interested in image quality and low light performance than several hundred mm of zoom. I'm currently using a Sony Alpha 7R Mark II with the tiny Samyang prime 24mm, and I do my zooming on the computer! But if someone introduced an APS-C bridge camera of similar size and weight to my current set-up, I would be very interested. Is this not possible? Even a more limited zoom range, say 28mm to 120mm, would be attractive. Even 35mm to 100mm! As you can tell, I hate changing lenses. Is what I am suggesting not technically possible? I find that unlikely.
