If they're young and ambitious, they probably will change brands at least a couple of times in their career anyway...:-)
I would recommend Pentax. Not because it's "best", but because it's good enough. If Jaume's friend likes the interface of the camera he/she borrowed from Jaume, then go for it. Pentax is a lightweight brand. Sadly, not only in the literal sense of the word, but having less bulk is a Good Thing.
