Bridge camera under 20 K

[Gu-Gz]

I want to get a Bridge camera for my photography work, My budget is 20 so suggest me the best one within that range. I have checked out few and I am not able to make out which one would be best for me. This will be my first Bridge camera so suggest me some good one so that I can make my final choice after going through the suggestions.

I will suggest you to get one from these:
NIKON Coolpix P510 Bridge Camera – 19,750 approximately
FUJIFILM FinePix HS30 Bridge Digital Camera – 20,000 approximately
They both are available within your range. Personally I will suggest you to go with NIKON Coolpix P510 as they are one of the best camera manufacturers.

Within 20k, CANON PowerShot SX40 HS seems to be the best option. It is available for 18,500 approximately. It has 35x optical zoom and a wide-angle lens which can cover focal range from 24 to 840 mm. CANON PowerShot SX40 HS has Ultrasonic Motor (UMD) which doesn’t make any noise while shooting, its internal menu supports many languages so one can set it to the desired one. It has a 2.7-inch LCD screen which for framing difficult angles, other than these things it has movie mode for 1080 (Full HD) video shooting.
