If you can afford it I would suggest a dslr over a bridge camera. You'll get the point and shootness you are looking for with the ability to use more in the future if you decide to go that way. Go with one lens that works in most of the situations you like to photograph and you'll be pleased.
What ages/what do you typically shoot? What point and shoot did you use? Sticking with the same maker for a dSLR helps in the transition with similar language and even similar settings/indicators on the camera.
