What would be the best digital (bridge) point and shoot camera for a ameture photographer?

I'm just 1 year old at photography. So need a bridge camera (high end) but my budget is about 15000. Don't want to spend more on this. I need a camera which has atleast 20x zoom, manual control, manual focus (not necessary), good night performance, and faster image prossesor. I have some choices nikon L120, fujifilm s3300, fujifilm 4000. But confuse. They all have some bad reviews. Don't want to be a fool buying this. Need some more option chose for.

Is fujifilm a good lens maker? I mean how fujinon lenses are? I never use one so bit confused.

Canon sx30 or sx40

$15, 000 can get you this http://www.bhphotovideo.com/...mited.html but it comes without a lens so this might be better for you http://www.bhphotovideo.com/..._DSLR.html.

Oh! So you just wanted a bridge? Get anything you fancy. They're just tricked-out point-and-shoot cameras. With your budget, you might get 30 of them even.

I would suggest you to go for fujifilm s3300 it has a amazing camera that will perfect according to your demands and has all the style, features and comfort with a quality to satisfy you as a photographer.
