MrsSmallfurry bought a Nikon DSLR (D70 maybe) after her Nikon SLR was stolen. She used it for wedding photography, to take the acton shots during the day (medium format for posed photos). I forget which wide range lens she was after, but at the time appropiate Nikor lens was impossible to source. So she bought the cheaper Sigma version and has reggreted it ever since. The excellent body and flash (SB 800) are wasted because the lens lets them down.
So if you do invest in a DSLR, decent lens and flash are a must and can really add to the cost. I'd look around for a good package deal.
Personally Id go for a DSLR over a bridge camera as they are more versatile, and you can upgrade the package bit by bit. I'm not the photographer of the family but find the mrs's camera easy to use on various levels (although the flash has far too many buttons, I mean its a light FFS).
