Not wanting to carry an assortment of lenses with me, I have used bridge cameras for ages, and my current one (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panasonic_Lumix_DMC-FZ1000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panasonic_Lumix_DMC-FZ1000) is pretty well-reviewed and generally does make really good photos, but my 6-year-old Pixel 2 phone still takes better HDR pictures. Sure, you can optimize what the FZ1000 does by adjusting the exposure time, but sometimes I just don't have the time to do that.
