I got my wife a Canon PowerShot A710 IS (Image Stabilized) earlier this year and we both enjoy using it. It takes great photos in auto mode and has other settings as well if you want to explore. At 7MP, the quality of the images is very good. I used rechargeable AA's in it and they last a good amount of time. My gallery image today was taken with it, as were my recent pomegranite macros. They don't really show off the full ablitily of the camera but you can get an idea. On a side note, it takes very good quality movies, if that is an option your sister may use. Just get the largest memory card possible. ;']
