I started out shooting sports with a Canon 10D several years ago and it proved very durable over the course of four years of hard shooting. I shot sports for my job (sports editor) as well as weekends at the race track and never had any problems until it recently began to suffer from some auto focus issues and the hotshoe for the flash needed replacing.

Now I've got a Canon 40D and am more than happy with it. If you search for it on the internet, you could get the model before it, the 30D (basically the same features as the 10D) for around $700 or so with a lens included. The jump up to the 40D is around $1,400 to $1,500.

Depending on what she wants to shoot, she likely wouldn't need anything nearly that expensive unless she wants to shoot action sports as well.
