I would not want to lug that on a 30 day vacation. What is she using it
for? Different camera for different purposes. Even the most adamant
pro these days has multiple cameras for multiple purposes. And bigger
isn't necessarily better.

Given it has a 55 - 200mm VR lens, that is crap to drive up the price.
Better off with a 70-300mm as digital can do the low end without a fuss
using the regular lenses.

So what is she using it for?

If she is a pro, maybe ask her first. If not a pro, well, this might be
overkill.
