Digital BW, The Print

Check out the new Nikon Coolpix 2500.  

It is really small (much smaller than the 990) and looks "cool" in blue and chrome.  About 2.1 mega as I recall.  And it costs about $370 or about the same as a Canon Rebel 2000.  

It has a really tiny buttons and stuff...and looks like it is made for a kid.  

It is small and twists.  You can find a review at dpreview.com.

  I don't think there's anything on the market that is both cheap and
  flexible enough to handle a trip's worth of images.

  There are numerous $80ish 640x480 cameras out there - fixed focus,
  low-res, limited to builtin storage - they're fine for what they are,
  but in my opinion really not worth the cash.

  Anything that accepts flash storage will run you _minimum_ of $200
  plus storage cards - more than I'd want to hand to even the
  best-behaved and most-responsible 15-year-old. I think you're better
  off giving her a small 35 or APS camera and a bunch of film, and
  scanning the best images for her. (Or processing them onto PictureCDs)
