I have 2 Canon bodies that I bought after my Sony Nex7. I was going to switch to all Sony, but the lenses just weren't there.
By the time I figured that out, the Sony was worth about ¼ of what I paid for it. So I kept it.
The bridge cameras are now my latest thing. 25mm to about anything you can think of, for less than the cost of a lens.
I have a Panasonic FZ200, that I'll probably give away to a niece or nephew, and the latest, a FZ1000.
The FZ1000 has a 1" sensor, and focuses really fast and accurate, but is only a 25 - 400mm lens.
I'm still looking for something with more reach, 1200mm -2000mm. They're out there, but the photos just don't cut it.
I'd buy the Nikon P900 today if you didn't have to wait 30 seconds after taking a 7 shot burst to take another shot.
They built a camera for wildlife with no buffer. Nikon's on top of their game there.
So, I'm sure that's more info than you wanted.

Indeed it is. I'm amazed at how many cameras some of you guys have. I have the two DSLR bodies and there are days I think I have 1 too many until I take both on a shoot and realize I don't have to change lenses. Paul.

Now this is one fine capture, and a great post processing.
