  Yes, the EOS 3000N (sold as Rebel G II or XS-N in the US) is a decent SLR for a beginner. It can be used in full auto-exposure modes, but as you become more advanced it can also be used in aperture-priorty, shutter-priority, or full manual modes.

I am also a beginner and bought my first SLR Canon EOS 66 (that is the name EOS 3000N sells as in Asia). It is an exciting thing. The first roll produced fairly good pictures but camera shake and underexposure was very common as I had used an SLR for the first time, but with the second roll out I am glad to say that it is a lot better and my friends have also called many of these photographs as 'professional' by way of compliment.
Gwyn, if you have not bought it yet, do go ahead. It is a lovely buy.
