Beware, it's a great camera, but there are some drawbacks you might not be aware of:
- it's expensive (you probably know that)
- you need to buy lenses for it, which can add up to cost a lot more than the camera. Then there's tripods, batteries, memory cards.
- you need to use an image editing program, like photoshop, to get the best from the images. Images straight from the camera could be nicer from a high end sony/canon consumer camera, but once you do a little work on them in photoshop, this camera gives you great pics.
- it will take months or even a year to get completely used to this camera.

This is an excellent camera. The lens shown in your photo is not a high quality lens, but is quite good (see http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/reviews/18-55e.html). Since you're looking at a single lens reflex, I imagine you've already decided you don't want a compact "point and shoot" camera. Tim is absolutely correct that if you want to get the very best results you can end up spending a lot of time and money. But that's not necessary for everyone. You can get very good results straight out of the camera. The advantage of buying a camera like this is that you can buy additional lenses and use advanced techniques if you want to.
