Compact / Bridge cameras

I'm after advice again although this may be a little, er, beneath you guys
Long version
A few years ago my missus got a DSLR (after much appreciated help from ARSE).
She enjoyed the photography but it hasn't really got as much use as I'd hoped. Her reasons are that it's just too big (she's little) so she feels really self conscious carrying it about and using it. She also finds it uncomfortable taking photos of people with it for some reason so we never get photos of our friends and family from her. Because of that and the fact we're not travelling much these days, it spends most of its time gathering dust.
I've given up trying to convince her on the SLR but she really does enjoy taking photos so we've been looking at smaller alternatives.
Short version
Does anyone have any experience with smaller cameras that still have a level of manual control? I've been looking at the Panasonic Lumix TZ70/ZS50 - http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Panas ... TZ70_ZS50/
Anyone used one?
