pretty much any of the name brand cameras, even the lower end ones do a pretty nice job at taking pictures, at least the ones a female wants to make. I got a sony for my 12 year old, and a canon for the 16 year old. Not sure what i got the wife, i use a kodak easyshare myself, but everyone elses cameras are 6,7 or 10 mp now, mine is only 5. Really depends on what features they like. Action shots mean you want a fast shutter speed or one that has an adjustable shutter. The primary need for the 12 year old was a camera that would do videos with sound. Her sisters camera did video but no sound. (the price difference was only about 20.00 to get the sound and video so its worth the extra few bucks)
