A bridge camera is just a compact with a longer optical zoom wrapped up in a silly 0.5x dslr like form factor.
Same small sensor size and image quality, lack of real viewfinder and most annoying of all shutter lag.
How often does anyone really need a long lens? I'd be willing to bet that 99% of the time people shoot towards the wider end of the spectrum unless they're a twitcher or just like taking pics of people from afar :p
