Sounds like you should be getting something with manual controls. If she has interest in photography, anything without them would be very limiting.
With that budget you should be able to get a 4/3 micro, stretch it a bit and you can get a beginner DSLR. Kind of depends on what form factor you want.
Compact -> 4/3 -> DSLR
Cheap/Small <-> Big/Expensive
