All the currently available dSLR equipment on the market is capable of producing good pictures, you just have to work at some of the setups a bit more than others. This boils down to personal preferences, how something feels right in the hand is a very individual decision and this, probably as much as anything else, will have a greater impact on the resulting image than the badge on the front.

Get her to go into a local dealer and have a play with some of the popular entry-level models. This will tell you far more than any forum postings ever will.

Sorry if this isn't much help, but I strongly believe how each individual uses their equipment is a much bigger factor than how big a particular manufacturer's marketing budget is.
