I went from a Bridge Camera to a DSLR as the continuous frame speed on the Bridge was too slow (1 FPS).
Recently bought a new later model DSLR (Canon 600D) after gaining experiance with a 1000D (Ancient, that's for sale with lenses etc if your daughter wants a cheap start)
Would I go back? I doubt it owing to the number of accesories I have for the DSLRs
Alsp though the DSLR is nevr far away I always carry a compact (Canon A1300) in the car, useful to put in my pocket for events as well. Chose this one as it has an optical view finder which I prefer
