I would also recommend a Canon D-SLR (i have a 400D). They are very versatile, and if there is likely to be a growing interest in photography, the lenses are quite cheap and plentiful on the second-hand market.
I would also recommend Olympus models, such as the E500 - if buying used, they are quite a bit cheaper than the Canon equivalent but i have found the lenses to cost a lot more.
