canon invented digital photography... they have been leaps and bounds ahead of all others. nikon borrows its technolgy from sony, which is based on a video camera ccd sensor. canon uses a cmos sensor and digiII processors made for still imaging. which kinda makes them the front runners.
i have a 20D and it kicks. i'd go 30D for wifey. the lens it comes with licks so i'd recommend a simple 50mm 1.8. i personally hate zooms so i use all fixed lenses except for one 20-35 usm.
i'm not trying to hate on anyone that loves their other brand rigs. pros that shoot nikon, likely shot nikon before the digital revolution. having lenses and shit, it makes sense to stay with nikon. i've shot canon since 87, and have had lenses for canon for awhile. my main camera during the film years was a hassleblad, and i held out forever to get a digital slr. i did all the research and would have even switched brands if i felt it was a better rig.
anyways. canon is my vote. 20d, 30d or rebel xt even if she wants a good toy.
good luck.
