My daughter is looking at a Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd. It looks pretty complicated to me but I'm still working on my first. She's an awesome kid!

HI MOMMY!
I am the daughter.
:D
I am extremely serious about photography.
Especially at Boarding school in Michigan.
It's a real pretty campus,
and I've actually started taking some pretty good pictures with my old camera.
[you have to hold the battery case thing on with tape or it won't turn on...I might add.]
but yeah...

Go to www.dpreview.com to read reviews and user reports. The Canon Powershot G7 might be an option to consider.
The Fuji S6000 is not all that old, , but they do have out the 8000 now. I don't know if there is much performance difference between the two, but they are about the same price. The 8000 has 8mp sensor and more zoom. That doesn't mean it is better, there's more to camera performance than pixels and zoom. Also, I'm not sure if it has image stabilization, which might be a concern with such a long zoom.. Fuji has pretty decent high ISO performance for a small sensor digicam.
For not too much more, you might also consider the Nikon D40. Bigger sensor, better image quality and flexibility, better high ISO performance than any digicam, and the ability to change lenses.

If you think your daughter is serious about photography as a hobby, (ie, not just a fling with those fancy-looking credit card cameras all her friends have) I think you should consider investing in a DSLR camera, such as the Nikon D40 or the Canon Xti.
If she is serious about photography, a conventional camera will not be sufficient, and you might end up buying her a DSLR in a few yrs, so it might be more financially sensible to by a DSLR to start with.
Of course, DSLR's are more expensive, takes longer to learn and usually require serveral lenses but the image produced is amazing.
So the question to ask yourself of your daughter is: is she serious about photography?
