Can you please recommend to me a decent bridge camera for me to buy my wife for her birthday. She wants something better than a compact, but doesnt really know how, or would get the, use of a digital SLR. Her mum has a Panasonic lumix DMC FZ62 that she loves. I've got a budget of £100 to £300. It doesn't need to be new, i.e. It can be a gen or 2 old if still decent. What's the best make for a real beginner? What offers the best experience to see if upgrading to a DSLR would be worth it in a year or 2?
