Thanks for the input guys. To answer pRICE's questions:
1. How much do I want to spend?
under $600
2. Will the user outgrow the capabilities of the camera?
possibly, but it would great if she truly developed a passion for photography
3. If so, do you need to buy a camera with more function and therefore fancier and costlier?
I'll take the risk and start off with a lesser model
4. Will other students covet and steal said fancy camera?
Can't answer, but she's taken care of an iPhone and iPad without any trouble.
5. How durable does the camera need to be?
I think she'll care for it well enough.
6. Do you need weather resistance?
Not to start, maybe in the future. She will probably bring it to the beach occasionally, so perhaps it does need some...
7. Do you have legacy lenses from film cameras?
I have nothing but my iPhone
and Ken's question:
Yes, she mentioned different types of lenses.
