Camera purchase

We all have to consider cost and our budget on camera purchases.
The DSLR costs will be greater and additional lenses add future costs.
Either of the bridge cameras will let you learn more about photography.
The manual controls let you take charge of the camera in situations that auto mode doesn't provide the optimal
results.

Concerning your budget you should look at the bridge camera it is a one solution for all and you will get great shots. if you choose the DSLR type then you will need extra lenses and to be honest you budget is to low for that.
