I might consider this for a first DSLR instead of say a D90 plus a lens as much as I'd have a hard time with just one thumb wheel and that viewfinder. Neither are weather sealed.
It's supposed to me a nice camera, dunno about the 18-55, but it would be a start and something to work with at least most of the time.
I've considered it a few times when it has been offered body-only at an even better price point.
I am seeing used D300 for less than $500 and D7000 (both weather sealed) are dropping to below the $700 neighborhood. Watch your local internet classifieds.
