Depending on the level of interest in photographer she has, a Compact or Advanced camera would be a good starter. If she already has a high interest and/or some experience with cameras, getting a entry level D-SLR would be best to allow her full creative control. There are several entry level D-SLR Cameras starting around $499, not much more than a higher end Compact or Advanced camera.
Almost all printers today have some form of memory card reader built into the unit. This will allow prints to be made without connection to a computer. Some printers even have a small LCD screen to view which photo you want to print. If the printer does not have a card reader, check to see if it has “PictBridge ”, this is a feather that allows the camera to be directly connected to the printer by USB cable and print to the printer.

Almost all Camcorders take Still Photos. There is a Photo button, usually found on top of the camcorder that when pushed will take a still photo and save it to the selected media.

If you have been thinking of a D-SLR or Advanced Digital you will be much happier with the D-SLR. You will always have more control with the D-SLR, you can chance lenses for better zoom and optics, you can get a clearer and sharper picture due to a larger sensor. Also the D-SLR will still have a shorter Lag Time (almost none) compared to a Advanced Digital. Sony, Canon and Nikon all have models starting around $499 all with great features.

The Nikon S60 has Touch Auto Focus and Auto Exposure and allows you to touch the subject on the LCD screen that you want to focus on and the camera automatically sets the focus and tracks the subject for optimal exposure.
