If you have the budget for it, it's an excellent choice. If you know nothing about cameras and just put it in the fully-automatic mode, you will get a decent image at least 90% of the time. As you learn more about what you are doing, you can grow into the rest of the features available on the camera.

M- I don't really agree with you, but that's not my thumb down. Sam
