This is available for 1500 Euros in Germany.
This combo cost the same as a Canon 7D, body only.

But non photographers often use compact cameras with a lot of shutter lag. The
picture aren't taken before the subject is long gone. She obviously wants
instant action. To me that means SLR/DSLR. But some megazooms might do the
trick too? I geuss a K-r would be a nice
