Answer
I agree with Trixie. The E-PL1 is a very good choice.
Most bridge cameras, in my opinion, are garbage. Out of the few dozen I've used, I've only liked one or two.
The Kodak z990 was an amazing camera in my opinion. However, it has a lot of glitches and Kodak is bankrupt so you might not want that. But in my opinion it was one of the best bridge cameras I've ever used.
The Fuji HS20 was also a good camera. It look pretty good pictures and is the closest thing to a dslr. However, the video mode was trash.
I think you should just skip the bridge camera stage and save up to get a entry level dslr. You can get a mirrorless camera for £250 or less.
And even a entry level dslr. I've found a D3100 online for $450, which is about £290. It is however a factory demo, but it is as good as new.

Why the bridge or even snap and shoot cameras have better video/movie quality than DSLR cameras ?

Hello
In most bridge cameras like Panasonic Fz35 , Sony HX1 , Canon SX20 IS or even compact like Sony T90 and others have better video / movie mode than DSLR cameras that have bigger sensors like Pentax K-x , Canon 500D/T1i and Nikon D5000 . The main problem confined in the ability of auto focusing during video mode and the no of fps.
Im wondering of the reason behind that especially we do find that even the smaller cameras like Sony T90 has very good quality of video mode that we could not find in most DSLR cameras.
In fact i do not see that is so important but i would like to add that i have used D5000 and have seen so many reviews on youtube , depreview ,camera lab , digital camera and others . Im interesting in D5000 , K-x , Fz35 and others ,also the new cameras :Sony HX5 , Panasonic ZS7 , Fujifilm F80EXR , Olympus Sp 800UZ and others. THE GOAL is to find a suitable camera for both video and photos.
What i mean the quality of video mode is related to both resolution and fps which include : sharpness , contrast and the movment of the action.
Answer
The higher the level of a camera, the more focused it is on best performance as a still image camera, and the less a manufacturer will care about side features like video. They are reserved for camcorders.
Instead of making compromises, that will diminish still image quality, in favor of better video, the high end cameras feature best possible still images, and only a so-so video. No serious photographer will use an SLR for video recording. So the more serious user they aim for, the less they care. The really high end SLRs have no video capability at all for the same reason.
