Does she want to mess around with a DSLR? That Nikon is a great outfit
and the price seems pretty good, but perhaps she'd want a simpler way to
take great photos, like the Canon Powershot g12:

Or one of these:

That little Canon is such a great camera, and so convenient to carry,
that I'm using my Nikon DSLR less and less.


I sold my full frame Nikon DSLR for one reason: it was just too damned
heavy to carry on a neck strap all day long while on vacation. I got a
much lighter Canon DSLR and now actually take the camera with me.
Alternately, I use my wife's pocket sized Canon, which also takes nice
photos.
