assuming she wants a digital SLR then?
I know you can get the nikon d3000 for £369
Canon eos 1000d for £399 - prices quoted from jessops website... can get cheaper from places like pixmania

edit: have a look here

I have the 1000d and it is a very good camera tbh, even though mines broke a few times (1st time technically my fault, 2nd time was the bit that was replaced broke, 3rd time the part they replaced got bored and decided to make a run for it and broke again)

surely it depends which make she prefers aswell? i.e canon or Nikon

probably best to take her into the likes of jessops and let her play and pick

She needs to really tell you what she is comfortable with and Canon / Nikon etc have completely different feels and menus to grasp your head around.

I've never used a canon, but my nikon d60 is easy enough to use.

it's a pretty decent camera for a beginner, I'm happy with it, but I think it's been phased out and replaced with the d3000?
