PnS cameras are great for something convienence and portability. However, I don't think might be a little restricted if you don't know what sort of semi-professional shots you're going to take. Landscape shots... portraits? Find a camera that is more suited for you this way. I'm not saying you can't take great pictures with a PnS camera, but there are some issues. Usually I find red eye to be a problem with most PnS cameras and it's quite difficult to really get exactly what you want. Then again, you could mess around in post processing.
Just get a camera that's a good match for you whether it's PnS or not. I think that your significant other will be happy that you're taking interest in his/her hobby as well. But if you really don't find it your cup of tea, well, it's not worth spending so much money on an dSLR,lenses and filters. If you wanted SLR quality, buy just that, a mechanical SLR. Sure you'll have to process the film and stuff, but it's way cheaper than a dSLR, though... lenses can vary in price. I still think you can get a 50mm lens and a zoom lens with body for under $400 USD.
