I cannnot choose! I need your help

[VDondev]

Can I ask you for advice because I dont know what to do... I want to buy a new camera but I can not choose between DSLR or Bbridge camera. I like Sony A33 and Nikon D3100(DSLR models) and Sony HX100(Bridge). I saw and a lot of comparisons between Sony and Nikon but...
I would like to use the camera for (city)landscape photos, macro and sometimes for portraits, and videos. At the moment my budget is for DSLR camera with 18-55mm lenses and I dont know when I will have the chance for an "upgrade" with which I will do whatever I want to do(for example so big zoom as the "bridge"camera).
Thank you!

Hello and welcome!

I think you need to ask yourself how far do you want to go with photography. If your intent is to use the camera to record your holidays, family gatherings, etc. then you might be satisfied with a bridge camera. But if you plan to do something more with your photography, if you're into it, if you have a desire to learn and improve your photography, then you'll eventually want a dSLR camera. Sure, a dSLR with a kit lens has some limitations in respect to a good bridge camera (actually, it's only focal range), but it has many more advantages. You'll eventually find money for a new lens, for example I bought my telephoto lens for something like 10$ and I'm very satisfied with it. I was in the same dilemma and I ended up buying a dSLR and I never regretted it.
