How to Hold a Semi-DSLR (Bridge) camera?
I want to know, Should a bridge camera be hold like a D-SLR while taking photos, or just like a point and shoot camera?
i'm buying a Nikon L310, so Had the question!
I'm comfortable at both styles, just wanted to know which is the best position!
Added (1). L310 doesn't have a ViewFinder,
Is Nikon P500 Worth 400$?
Technically, whichever you find comfortable.
The Virtue of the SLR hold (right hand around the body and left cupped under the lens) is that it gives stability and - if done properly - allows either hand to be removed while the other provides support.
Holding the camera up against your cheek and eye will stabilize the camera better than holding it at arm's length, no question.
If you ever intend to buy a dSLR, you will want to be in the habit of holding the camera in two hands with it pressed against your face.
There's no set rules on how to hold a camera. People have different size hands & will tend to hold a camera differently. You'll just have to find what feels comfortable to you.
The bridge camera is small and light compared to a full blown dSLR. You can hold it just like a point-and-shoot (PNS) yes but the whole point of getting a bridge is to appear like you are handling a dSLR so grab it that way and avoid using the large rear LCD. Squint through the tiny viewfinder instead!
