- The December, 1991 issue of Petersen's Photographic magazine included a 51-page "Ultimate 35mm Buyer's Guide", beginning on page 79. Thirteen cameras were included with the heading "35mm Bridge Camera." They were the following (US-market names):
- Canon Photura
- Canon SS Mega Zoom 105
- Chinon Genesis II
- Chinon Genesis III
- Fuji Discovery 3000 ZD
- Konica Aiborg
- Minolta Freedom Zoom 105i
- Olympus IS-1
- Olympus ISZ 330
- Pentax IQZoom 105-R
- Ricoh Mirai
- Ricoh Mirai Zoom 3
- Samsung AF-Zoom 1050
- As you can see, this included a mix of viewfinder and ZLR type cameras. As the term "bridge camera" was understood in the US market, it included a variety of cameras that were all seen as more full-featured than a simple point & shoot, but with enough automation to be more widely acceptable to non-expert photographers (for example, my sister, who bought an IS-1).
- As I have provided a documented source for this use of "bridge camera" among English speakers, I'm reverting the edits back to what I have written. --Vox 14:48, 23 April 2012 (PDT)
