The two super-zoom bridge cameras I know of both have small 1 2/3 sensors. I own the Canon SX50 and it’s great for grabbing a quick shot when my gear is not handy, but it suffers from all the limitations of small sensors.
Both of these cameras (the other is the Nikon P900) would be great complements to your daughter’s slr and might help get her back to using it, but I doubt she will be happy with either as a sole camera.
Paul ... the latest iteration of the Canon Powershot is the SX-60 HS - which zooms from 21mm to 1365mm (35mm equiv.) ...
Several Nikon Coolpix bridges (other than the P-900) zoom from 24-1440mm (35mm equiv.)
The Sony H400 - zooms out to around 1550mm (35mm equiv.) ....
