I personally have a Sony 350 and brought those lenses over from a Minolta 9000. And then went out and added a couple of a new wide angle and longer telephoto, cuz I felt the need the spend. She will find good results with those lenses and a good Sony DSLR body.

any Sony ?
I ( read she ) want to be sure its compatible ( electric contacts and so )

Not sure where you're located but so that she feels okay, have her bring the lenses into a camera store and let her try them out. Yes, any dslr that is a Sony.
