The Nikon D60 is a perfect choice for newcomers to digital SLRs. Alternatively, as it offers excellent image quality, familiar Nikon menu systems and good scope for manual controls at a budget price, it would also be a favourable, lightweight back-up model for more seasoned photographers. Thoughtful set-up means you can operate the camera in full Auto when conditions are tricky, but at the flick of a switch there's plenty of manual power and responsive operation if you... Read more

Nikon D60 + AF-S DX 18-55 VR lens
Reviewer: PriceRunner02 October 2008- Overall 10
Nikon has stripped down its serious cameras to create a usable, friendly budget camera. But its baby/bath water filtering process has been almost perfect – you get all the colour accuracy, detail capture and processing smarts (including a clever D-Lighting system that boosts shadow detail) of its more expensive brethren, but with none of their complexity. One word of caution: make sure you buy the bundle with the image stabilised VR zoom, for blur-free shooting in dim... Read more

The D60 isn’t so different from the D40x. The main changes are the anti-dust system, the new Nikkor 18-55mm VR kit lens and eye-sensor. The pictures are great, and the picture modes and retouching are impressive. The handling remains a sore point. I have a Nikon D60 now for the past 15 months, I must say that I have been very happy with it. Yes I agree the grip is small, but I have found that if you add the battery clip to the D60 it makes a big difference, in your... Read more

Easy to use Nikon D60
Reviewer: Dooyoo2 weeks ago- Overall 10
The D60 is a direct replacement for the D40x, and has a similar size, design and layout to its predecessor. The small design means there's no AF motor on the body, so you'll only get autofocus using AF-S lenses with built-in Silent Wave motor. The autofocus uses just 3 points, and although they are the more accurate cross type, more AF targets would be nice. The D60's other notable features include a Nikkor Vibration Reduction (VR) lens to combat camera shake, a 2.5inc... Read more

Great Entry Level D-SLR

Recently my sister got one of these cameras , and I was lucky enough to be allowed to use it. It was a pleasure to use, even great fun. It offers great functionality for a fraction of the price of some D-SLRs. Much better than any compact camera I have ever used. Construction As with any SLR , this camera can be quite large if you are used to the bog-standard compacts you usually see. Then again, my Fujifilm E900 is already a large camera . However, the D60 //<
