I just upgraded to a Digi SLR...but I loved (and still rave about) my Kodak EasyShare DX6490. The newer models have a different number I believe (both my sons have bought one also). It has various settings but on the "on" mode it is great. There is a 10xOptical zoom if you want it and it is so easy to use.
The dock makes it easy peasy to keep charged. My pictures were really nice, I was just ready to upgarde and learn a little more.
There is an optional printing dock she could learn very easily to use to avoid taking the card out at the store LOL.
The reason I bought it originally was because I checked a friends out over lunch and was able to figure out everything basic on it without reading anything. There is a big screen but also can be viewed through the finder.
Good luck

PS It is a bigger camera than the little camera digi's out there..more like an older style camera, perhaps better for her?
