Does your daughter think an E-M10 looks like a camera should? Or do you only hope she will or think she must? And what's wrong with her using the lcd instead of the evf if that's the way she prefers? I agree with the other poster who answered it's most important to let her decide. If you force something on her only because you think it's the right camera then she may loose interest in photography and that would be a shame, wouldn't it?

Sound advice, this.......

But if you are bent on picking a camera for her, I'd make sure it's something you would like, since in the end, you may end up with it.

That said I chose the PL7 because of the selfie screen and the cool commercial videos on the Oly site for the PL7 like here
