Thanks for all your replies. In the end she settled on the NIKON D3100
which she got from John Lewis (the store, not our own much loved).
Full marks to John Lewis (the store) because they advised against the
more expensive D3200 which was an option.
We were also pleased with the price which was the same as Amazons but of
course not offshored for tax.
Thanks again for your advice.
Regards
Roger

The Nikon D3200 will do pretty well everything your daughter wants.
As for wanting a DSLR to do video, perhaps some people don't
understand how far DSLR Video has come these days.
Hi Stephen, me for one!
I am still stuck in the era of the Pentax Me Super photographically
speaking although I now use a Pentax K-r having moved on from a
compact digital which I bought when it got difficult to get film
processed and a bridge DSLR. I bought the K-r because it can use one
of the k mount lenses from the Me.
I am unlikely to want to use its video capabilities though, I assume
it has some but haven't even looked at that part of the manual.
P.S.
I have been watching the CBBC program from Madagascar that gets
broadcast at 4.30 each day and can understand why you like the island.
