Is the Nikon D60 a good choice for my first DSLR Camera? If not what would you recommend?

I just got a Nikon D60 Kit with 18-55mm VR/ 55-200mm VR lenses and a SB-600 flash also came with bag. I also got a 2 year insurance plan that will cover pretty much any accidental damage. I spent 1480$ for everything including some Filters and SD cards and Tax. I did much research before i bought but am still paranoid whether i made a good choice or not. I mainly want a camera that i can learn all i need to know about SLRs and still take good quality pics to show off. I want to use it for mainly taking pics of paintball. Will i be able to freeze motion such as a person running and sliding or diving and still capture detail with the d60? This is my first dslr camera and i just want some thing to learn from and grow off of and still be able to take great pics, i know there are far better cameras than the D60 but this is around the level im looking for plus i got all the stuff i need. i can still return it so any input u may have is much appreciated. Will i be dissapointed with the D60?

I don’t think so. I have the D40x which shares many features with the D60. I’m extremely happy with it.

You may find at some point you want to invest in a Wide Angle Lens for paintball, one with vibration reduction, but before that, just experiment with the settings that work best for you. I’ve done great sports shots with my D40.
