Camera Help - getting "Bridge" camera

[stinkyfeet]

I don't want a dSLR but I want more than the average point and shoot so I'm going for a "bridge" or "superzoom" camera.

I'm trying to decide between the

Canon Powershot sx40 12.1 MP
Panasonic DMC-FZ150K 12.1 MP
Fujifilm FinePix S4000 14 MP
Canon Powershot SX260

Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not familiar with any of the specific models listed, but I am a Canon fan. I've heard great things about the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 10.1 MP

Have you looked into the Canon M or Nikon One?

I've heard great things about the powershots by canon but I'm not sure the difference in the the two models.

I have a Canon G 12 and I love it! It had manual settings, and well as a bunch of specialize auto ones, so it really is a good hybrid between a DSLR and a p/s.

I have the Nikon Coolpix P520 from Costco and love it. its a great hybrid.

I have this as my P&S as well and really love it.   I believe they just announced the G16 the other day
