Ok.I would get ther a D3000 and tell her to shoot with the daylight added on if indoors.Becouse it's smaller and still needs to be studied.And you can make adjustments to it with lenses,caps and photoshopers and background.
It works with remote and selftimer,but you have to get her a remote separatelly.If not,one of the new cameras with the projector,or the large zoomer one.Take her personality into account and work frome there.I mean if she's a glass wearer,the D3000 is best,unless she's weak handed.From guide mode,you can find a ten second self timer.The more light and study time,the better the outcome of the pictures.Certain settings work best indoors too.When I am in shutter mode,the one second remote timer works best.Possibly,becouse I am not using it the right way yet
.At least I began to study one of my favorite arts,since I havn't been well enought to paint.
