camera recommendation?

Could 大侠们 recommend some good camera(s) for someone who would like to learn how to take photographs as a hobby, at beginner level?  I saw this $199 "Nikon COOLPIX L810 16.1 MP Digital Camera with 26x Zoom NIKKOR ED Glass Lens and 3-inch LCD" on amazon:

is it good enough for a beginner?
Thanks!
