Throw on a dx 35mm f1.8 g for snapshitting later. Buy a small flash (you dont need strobes unless you're a "i paid for ISO 50 and f/16" kind of person) when you get tired of using continuous lights.
No AF-D support, not a big deal. Maybe not a great camcorder, not a big deal. It's a fairly modern very cheap 24mp large-ish sensor camera that comes with 2 lenses for nuttin and leaves room in the budget to buy 2, maybe 3 more.
