Would this be a good first camera?

For christmas, i decided to get myself something nice and get a nikon d300. I was wondering if that's a good camera to start off with, and what lenses are pretty good?

It is an excellent "first" camera.

I recommend you these two options.

1-- Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm IS II Lens and EOS HD Movie Mode

2-- Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens

If you want more details, want to see more DSLR, more deals and discount.

Why not d7000 over d300?
