I bought one of these recently, with the 18-55 and the 55-200, primarily due to price, as there are steep discounts right now. I considered the Canon SL1 and the Pentax K-50, but seemed to get a bit more with the Nikon, at the current pricing. At full price, not so much.
All budget cameras sacrifice, and the things I miss most on this are exposure bracketing, ISO control on the body, and depth of field preview. Everything else is pretty amazing for a camera in this price range. But anyone considering this should also look at Canon and Pentax and maybe others, IMHO. If you are new to cameras, you really won't know what your desires are until you live with one for a while. So just pick one and start shooting! They are all good.
