 Numpties DSLR - Manatee
Well it's a truism that the best camera is the one you have with you...and you are unlikely to want to lug an SLR and an extra lens or two everywhere unless you are specifically on a photo mission. But the brief here seems to include picture quality and implies a larger sensor and faster lens than the ones usually found in compact superzooms or many bridge cameras.

Not to dismiss bridge cameras - the Panasonic FZ1000 is remarkable and uses a biggish sensor. But many are all about the zoom, so choose carefully.

Worth reading:

goo.gl/taSVvu (dpreview DSLR buying guide).

I use a DSLR (for depth of field control, low light, sports photography etc and with a big flashgun) but the default "just need to take a camera with me" is my LX3 which I love, so I'll mention its descendant...if you don't need a long zoom then the Panasonic LX7 just now is a bargain IMO.

Much better quality than typical compact superzooms owing to the bigger sensor, fairly pocketable, fast lens, good quality pictures, full manual control or very clever auto (assuming it's moved on at all from the LX3 which continually surprises me with how good it is - if I didn't already have that I'd buy the LX7 tomorrow).
