Fuji Finepix S6500FD to buy or not to buy?

Hi,

Is the S6500FD worth it for £70 (second hand!) for a beginner in the world of D-SLR?

I would describe myself as a complete amateur and really want to get to grips with a D-SLR before i take the plunge and buy something expensive!

I do however want to be able to take good 'crisp' photographs, and produce some good quality images - this will spur me on to achieve bigger and better things with a better camera!

Please let me know your views, opinions and or recommendations!
Thanks!
Dave.
