It is a great beginner camera and if you take a good care of it, will last you very long time.
If you have more specific Qs, don't hesitate to send a private note and we'll talk.

Pick it up and play with it. When you have a question post it in the Beginners forum. We're happy to help.

Entry SLRs are definitely a great way to learn photography.

Thank you so much guys. Im a tattoo artist, so I spend alot of time tattooing, and also painting. I wanted to find another hobby I could still use art as my motivation. And Ive always loved photography, so here I am. Im really excited. Im also printing off pages of " How to " stuff so I can have reference for uses of each lenses, and their purposes etc...

Read n practice!
Read the how-to's thru, then try what you read.
It is an amazing mix of technology and artistry!
One you can take to any level and stay, or keep advancing.
Professional or personal - can be very satisfying.
Your artistic background will give you a substantial base to work from.
I think artists coming into photography have a better grasp to start with.

Oh, yes, that's an excellent camera to have or to start with, choice is yours.

Enjoy!!
