So I plan on buying a Nikon cool pix p500, a bridge camera, would I hold it just like how I'd hold a dslr camera? I don't wanna look like a fool holding it wrong.

Hold it any way you want…

In the end its the photo that matters…

The more you can hold it like a DSLR, the more stable it will be. Tuck your elbows into your chest for maximum stability.

Holding a camera out at arm's length like you have to do with a typical compact camera makes it harder to prevent camera shake; which results in blurry photos.
