Sure. But you could also consider the Canon T1i which has the added benefit of recording video in 1080p HD. As for basic lens, you want to do better than the "kit" lens. Remember that whatever body you start with, you'll replace it sooner or later. While the lenses will transition from body to body. So if you're just getting into the game, I'd spend most of your money on the glass.
