Not a bad choice at all. Even Nikon Dslr's use Sony sensors however the choice of lens/accessories will be limited compared to Nikon.
For a 30k budget i still believe Nikon D5100 is the best option followed by Newly launched Nikon D3200.
Checked IQ of both Nikon and even Cannon at CROMA at almost all modes and settings. Sony has definitely got more edge in terms of IQ, I am more inclined towards still photos and I think I made the right decision in the end by going with Sony Alpha A37. More to add, it has too many features.
