I have a Canon 40D, but only 1 decent lens. I like Canon, but any brand you feel comfortable with should be fine. Check out DPreview for some in depth reviews of cameras. Make sure you put the camera in your hand before you buy. I used to have the 350D (Rebel) and it's about 2/3 the size of my 40d. At first I thought the added weight would be a problem, buy I auctally feel the camera is easier to hold.

With that said the lenses are the most important thing. If I were to start over, I'd get a good used SLR, and put all the other money into lenses.

What kind of Photography will she be doing?
