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.


Similar to the one I have, ditched my full 35mm SLR years ago. The
image stabilization on these is great. Good pics in crappy situations.
Not to be underestimated.
