It does have one issue that you need to be aware of if you intend to buy lenses for it, though: it will only autofocus with AF-S or AF-I lenses (most of Nikon's zoom/telephoto lenses have already been switched over to AF-S, but there are no fast AF-S prime lenses available from Nikon).
Not an issue if you intend to stick with the kit 18-55mm lens, but you need to be aware of it before you buy the camera. Aside from the lens compatibility issues, it's a great camera.
