I'd say micro 4/3 is the obvious choice; Olympus and Panasonic each

I haven't had any experience with any Rebels recently. My long-term
impression (starting from film SLRs) is that Rebels are relatively crappy
cameras that are sold just because they are Canon.
That's where do not buy the cheapest in an expensive line rule applies.

I guess I'd want to know more about what camera features are most
important to your friend. I'm curious why she would go from a film SLR
to a PS digital. Was the reason price? Size/convenience? Is she only
interested in digital on instagram or is she interested in making
prints of good shots (and

I wonder if she wants an SLR because she had one, and she falls in the
age group for which the SLR was the best camera a typical consumer
would own. That's fine if she really want one, but I'd have her read
this short article from Thom Hogan.
A friend from one of my local camera clubs recently acquired the Olympus
OM-D E-M1 and brought it round to show off at our weekly brunch.
I have a lot of trouble focusing using the little TV screen on the back

Little TV screen? OH you mean the LCD. I use the viewfinder mostly. :-)
You don't need to go to the Novoflex site for adapters. Go to BH Photo or
EBay. Pentax K, Canon FD, just about any you might be interested in are
available.

You really didn't give enough info in some ways. If shooting video is
in any way important I wouldn't recommend any Pentax product, but for
stills bang the buck right now deal, KEH.com has refurbished K-30s for
less than $300.00 add the kit lens for about $60 and she's good to go.

I explained pro's and con's of different options, but I recommended
something like a micro-4/3. (And he and his daughter were vrey happy.)
I don't think a DSLR is warranted at this point unless somebody
