Added (1). What is a bridge camera

The P500 is a high end bridge camera, the D3100 an entry level D-SLR. The P500 has a killer zoom. But the D3100 is for a more serious photographer.
I have had the P90 for over a year and am very happy with it. I don't think you'd be disappointed with the P500.It can take high quality photos.
