One of my staff's grand daughter really "thinks" she wants to get into photography. Her idea is flowers, landscapes and similar. I grew up with pentax, then minolta and now Canon 90D but know little about the new Nicons, Canon Rebels, or even Pentax for that matter. What I am sure about is the best way to learn a camera is to shoot it and the best way to learn the technical aspects is interchangeable lenses.

For a "newbie", and remember she is only 14 years old and really has never had a camera, would you stick with interchangeable lenses ( I would think so) and what brand? Mother and grandmother want to stay "cheap" but not buy her a "toy"

There are a lot of people on here with a lot more knowledge and opinions than mine. What say you all?

A look at an Olympus epl7, 8 or 9 would fill the bill!
