The Panasonic LUMIX G7 is also a reasonable choice.

If there truly was a "best", everyone would have one & no other models would sell. It would behoove you to notate what her favorite subjects might be and how knowledgeable she is about cameras. It's always best if they handle several models as ergonomics can play a big part as well. Most cameras nowadays are pretty close in specs.
