Makes photographic memory beautiful and sexy.

It's not top of the line in features. But the Nikon D60 gets you to up to speed fairly quickly to get beautiful pictures without the pain of a steep learning curve on the camera and on photography. Out of the box, you get beautiful skin tones, crisp landscapes and detailed macro shots. Bottom line, it doesn't get in your way when you want to enjoy the beauty around and capture them in pictures.

Pro-quality for a modest price!
, Dec. 3, 2008
Comments:
A great digital SLR for the money! It handles easily, controls are well-placed and quickly learnable. I highly recommend the Nikon D60 for someone wanting pro-quality but doesn't need a $1K plus camera.

QuickTake:
Pros: Comfortable weight; I was afraid a digital SLR would be heavy like film SLRs were. Like the auto-focus, but love the manual focus ability.
Cons: None

Excellent camera with Excellent features

I bought this camera to take pictures of my 2 year old son, earlier I were owning normal digital cameras like Canon power shot and Sony, I was hardly used to get good pictures by using them even after spending a lot of time. After taking the first snap using D60, I thrown one of the camera to Trash and I gave other one to my wife for here personal use. But with this new camera I am very much satisfied with the quality of photos it is deliverying, and ease of use like normal digi-cam.

It's a great camera. It's easy to use and takes excellent pictures. I got the zoom lens too and it works fine. Also the camera itself will zoom in on the picture and it is very clear. I plan to use it on my friends wedding next year.

QuickTake:
Pros: This camera takes great shots! You could shut off the flash by just turning the dial
Cons: The flash didn't always come on. But its meant to sense when its needed.

Great Price, Very Capable Camera System
, Jul. 6, 2008
Comments:
The camera has exceeded my expectations; the two lenses should cover just about any situation I wish to capture. The camera quality appears to be up to Nikon's reputation. The two DVD tutorial disks will be helpful to a beginner. One aspect is the complexity of the numerous modes; this will take some time for even an experienced photographer to master. A beginner without an understanding of basic photography will probably never use a tenth of the cameras capabilities. Overall, a great camera that will last the rest of my life.

Enitre family used on overseas trip right out of box
, Jun. 21, 2008
Comments:
Great camera to choose for those moving from point and shoot to SLR. I could not see that much difference from Nikon costing 4x the price and this one especially on auto-mode. Menu is as easy to use as basic camera, not difficult at all. Entire family including 2 children could use with little explanation, teenager was able to take incredible shots of people. We took over 3000 pictures on the first use, a vacation to Cambodia and Thailand. I put the camera/lens together in the airport between flights. Well worth the money. Battery never ran out during day and I did not have a spare, charges in less than an hour.

QuickTake:
Pros: Great for transition to SLR from point and shoot. Camera was easy to use for all ages and abilities, even for those who only use point and shoot. Younger childen can use with ease.
Cons: Family fought over who got to take photos on vacation because camera was so easy to use.

Good stuff for good money
, May. 22, 2008

The camera is very impressive: small and light enough to take it everywhere, with all the "pros" of SLR quality. The VR lenses are a "must-have" equipment, especially if you prefer not to use flash. Programs for specific kind of photos are nicely programed. There are two "cons" - it would be more intuitive (especially in menu and settings) and it should have more points to check the sharpness of picture (Canons have 9). Quality/price is also in good proportions. :)

Review Verdict: Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikon's D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models

Review Verdict: Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikon's D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models
QuickTake:
Pros: Optically stabilised 18-55mm kit lens; convenient onscreen user interface; compatible with a wide variety of lenses and accessories
Cons: Pricey for what it offers; lens-based image stabilisation is less flexible than sensor-shift offered by some competitors

Ninja Assassin
Ve el trailer del próximo estreno de Warner. ¡23 diciembre en cines!

I purchased my Nikon D60 from ritzcamera.com for about $670. That includes the body, 18-55mm VR lens, 55-200mm VR lens, Nikon camera bag, and 2 Nikon instructional DVDs. Tip: if you have the Entertainment coupon book, they give you a 5% discount at ritzcamera.com. Bank of America now also has an Add It Up program that gives you 3%(?) discount if you use your debit card. Unfortunately, ritzcamera.com took almost a month to ship the 18-55mm lens (some issues with their supplier). Nevertheless, I got a great deal. I have been a loyal Sony Mavica/Cybershot customer in the past but going to the dSLR level, I knew I had to go Nikon. And I was right -- there is no graininess when I blew up a pic I took with the D60 (compared to my 2-year old Cybershot). I'm taking a photography class every Tuesday night so I'm learning a lot of things still. The D60 is the perfect camera if you don't know what you're doing. My only gripe is that my pictures don't seem to come out tack sharp at all (at least what I would expect from a dSLR). I have tried tips I got from books and online (use a tripod, turn the VR off, use a remote control, etc) but the pictures seem less than eye-popping. My photography class instructor likes to say it's a "defective user" but I'm not so sure. I'm giving the D60 a B- for now (I'm tough I know). We'll see what develops...
