Naive novice question #2
Would a 'bridge camera' be a good starting camera for acceptable quality ? I see new ones starting at around $150 (eg Fuji Finepix S2980). Do bridge camera shots readily get accepted ?
Are they better than expensive point and shoots ?

I think bridge is much better than point and shoot. However, i think that getting images accepted with a bridge is going to be hard work.

What you call a "bridge" camera is a point and shoot-any camera that doesn't have a reflex mirror-is either a rangefinder or a point and shoot: I often use a $70.00 point and shoot,and images get accepted here:

Friend, i have a Fujifilm S4000, but finding it very difficult to get sharp images. Forget about getting it accepted at shutter stock, can't get a positive review here in the critique forum. May be something wrong with the way i am taking the photographs, but i would suggest better invest in atleast an Entry level DSLR if you want to get it into shutter stock. :-)

yup. agree with him. I read some where in the forum "more then the equipment the knowledge & technique of the photographer gives better images". So, do what ever u feel is right. :-)

I think you should learn photography(take a class,or course) before deciding on a camera-That camera of yours is perfectly capable of making the grade-you need to learn to understand how it works,and realise it's limitations.(My first 2-300 shots here were made using a 3.2 megapixel olympus point and shoot and a Fujifilm S5510-The fuji enabled me to make my most popular,best-selling image below:
