    Really a easy camera for a beginner, but no eye piece which is ok because she wouldn't use it anyway.

    Solid entry-level mirrorless camera. Gives me the portability of a smaller point-n-shoot along with the flexibility and image quality of a DSLR with interchangeable lenses. The included lens isn't anything special (and it looks like Sony lenses are pretty expensive) but it gets the job done.
