Bridge Cameras

Can anyone recommend a good bridge camera for airshows?

I’ve been using a compact with 12x optical zoom and I’d like something a bit better – but to get a DSLR lense that focuses fast enough with a good zoom I think takes me beyond my price range.

I’m thinking that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 looks like a reasonable option – although it would be really fab to hear anyones views on bridge cameras and airshows!

Thanks!
