I will try to keep this short and to the point even though your question is quite in depth.
What is vlog? Its a Video blog. There are various types of vlogs. Some youtubers like shaytards and casey neistat are really good storytellers. So they post their day to day lives online sharing interesting parts of their day. What are the unexpected challenges of making vlogs? For many you tubers who vlog without setting boundaries and respecting those boundaries have ended up in broken relationships. 2014-2016 I have seen some long time you tubers (some who have been doing it from 2006) ended up separating or divorced because of this. So choose wisely.
What camera to use? The nikon d7000 you have is a good starting camera for entry level video Production. But it is not a good vlogging camera when you are starting out. It is too heavy for the initial vloggin application.
Any one of the three cameras that she wants would suffice for her application. I currently use the sony rx100 mVI. This is my recommended list for vlogging cameras. If you have good budget.
the list below might be an over kill. But will allow for her to grow into higher production value in the long term.
Make sure you get a gorilla tripod or a flexible tripod that she would find it easy to carry around and also a ton of third part batteries. You can find them cheap on amazon.
For video editing. I would suggest starting with Sony vegas movie suite. http://amzn.to/2gHJoua
This is what I started on after doing Movie maker for years. It has plenty of built in tutorials with guided editing within the application. So you would learn some advanced techniques. This will prepare the mind for other complex systems like hit film final cut and adobe. Sony’s editing software is really robust. they are just not good at marketing it well.
Hopefully I answered all your questions. If I missed something or if you need clarification do not hesitate to reach out. Good luck!
Panasonic GH4 is good because the GH5 just came out so the price dropped (affiliate link):
