Get her to go into a local dealer and have a play with some of the popular entry-level models.

I agree with this entirely, but having thought about it, perhaps the camera body is not the main issue. If it feels good in the hands, is there much to choose between the Canon and Nikon (and perhaps Pentax) entry-level camera bodies?
I think perhaps the lenses are more of an issue. Karen will probably not be able to afford Canon or Nikon lenses up to 400mm, so I’m interested to know which third-party lenses people think are the best of the rest?
