In that case, I would have gotten her a Samsung NX500 with the 30/2 pancake lens, or a Fuji XT-10 with a pancake lens, particularly the latter if JPEG is all she'll shoot.

Understand your recommendation, probably would have gone with an XT-10 when I still had my Fuji kit. Right now I'm shooting Sony E and Canon so I'm tryouts Ng to keep to these. My kids will on occasion (more than I like) borrow a lens from me. Also I only paid $275 for the SL1 and can get a used EF-S 24 for around $125 so the kit is $500 not over $1000 for the XT-10.

maybe I should have gotten her a a6000 kit instead.

I use my 24/2.8 0n the SL1 too, just fine.

But I have also used it on my Sony NEX-7 and full-frame A7 in crop mode.

The question is, why does it say 'MACRO' on the back?  I did not know that these are supposed to be macro lenses.

I can get quite close to an object and shoot an area about 2 inches across.
