new guy with a new camera

[guitar guy]

Hi, I'm Rick and I'm up here in Minnesota. I just bought a Nikon D3000 off Craigslist for $300. New condition, the guy said he'd only shot a couple of pics with it.

So I don't know what I'm doing at all because obviously I spend most of my time playing guitar, but photography has always been a big interest of mine so I'm excited to start educating myself.

So is this a decent camera? Good one to start out with?

BTW, I also have my deceased father in laws' old camera kit, a Nikon FG with a couple of lenses (one is a telephoto of some sort). I assume these will work with the D3000 but I will have to manually focus?
