How many megapixels will suffice for you?
4-5 Should be fine.
* What optical zoom will you need?
Not a big deal. At least 3x though.
* How important is “image quality” to you? (Rate using a scale of 1-10)
Do you care for manual controls?
Not at all. Simple is better for her.
General Usage

Taking pics of herself and friends.

No.
