..depends on what "to fancy getting into photography" means exactly.
If somebody makes me believe he / she really wants to get a grip on how stuff works I always suggest them to get a SLR with a nice, big viewfinder (ideally one with an option to preview selected aperture), and a proper manual focus prime lens.
So far this has always been one of the myriads of great and cheaply available film SLRs, though I realize hardly anyone is willing to put up with the inconvenience, cost, and delay of shooting film these days just to get a grip on things - so yea, something like a 100D would not be bad (personally I'd look after a 60D)..

Looking to buy my wife a camera as she fancies getting into photography...
Do I go down the route of something like a 100d as an intro to an SLR or a fuji x100 for portability and ease of use?
