What camara shall i get for 1st photograhy camara?

I'm starting out photography and i'm not sure what to get, there's a camara shop near me calles charlie eagles and son, and i've put a deposite down on a NIKON D200 second hand for £499 and a new lens for £250, i can change this if a better 1 comes in, so if i no afew better camaras i can look out for. Or if the camara i've already chosen is good enough for starting out?

the lens, it is ok but not the best zoom ect there was one there second hand but that was £399 abit to much for me. So afew good lens names i could look out for aswel would be great.

would be a massive help if someone could solve this problem thanks

The D200 is an excellent camera, in fact I have one as a back up camera to my D300 and D3. When the new D400 eventually is produced, the D200 will be getting converted to an IR only camera.

My most used lenses are the 18-200 mm on the D200/D300 and 28-300 mm on the D3.

While I use other lenses on those cameras, the most flexibility is found using those two focal lengths
