 Fantastic Intro to DSLR November 26, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Nikon D60 has proven to me to be a fantastic beginner's DSLR, while it can hardly be labeled a beginner's camera since it is more than capable of running with the higher models. It does, however, lack some of the features that give the more expensive brands their appeal, and high price tag.
For what you get with this model; high quality photographs, durability, small and lightweight body; the price is unbeatable. The difference in quality from the D60 and the higher level DSLRs can only be seen if you have already mastered the techniques of digital photography, and are looking for the next step. I would not recommend a newcomer to DSLR photography puchasing anything much higher than the D60 to start with, otherwise you may be wasting money that could be put towards a more powerful lens.
The D60 has proven it's durability to me in the field, as I have dropped it on the ground and worst of all, fell into a stream with it around my neck in Yosemite National Park. I dried it off and it was like new. Excellent quality.
If you would like to see what kind of photographs I have been able to shoot with my D60, check out my photostream on Flickr. Just look for Nick Chill!
Enjoy!

The D60 has been the best bang for my buck! I definitely recommend this camera for anyone wanting to get into the Digital SLR field without paying an arm and a leg for it.
Great deal for a great camera...9/10 November 24, 2008

I wanted to write a review after a month with the camera. As an intermediate-level photographer, I can get sharp, clean images with the 18-55mm VR and a nikkor 35-70mm manual focus i have from a FM10 I got back in the day. I originally went to best buy and held both the d60/d40/xsi/xt and the d40/d60 felt more substantial. I was able to get the best deal on the D60 thru Amazon so I went with it.
Pros
- 10mp (good for cropping)
- easy to get great results with kit lens right out the box
- same EXPEED processor as the D300
- active d lighting
Cons
- no auto exposure bracketing for HDR but there are ways of manually getting around it.
- no "live view"(not really a big deal, i got spoiled using them with point/shoots)
Additional Note
- I didn't know if I should put this under Pro or Con but its endorsed by Ashton 'Kelso' Kutcher...
 True amature with great results November 23, 2008

Can't be happier with the results that this camera has allowed me to experience. It truely provides me with professional results with very little effort. The sports feature allowed me to get stop action photographs while at a recent football game and to finally capture my dog jumping to retrieve a thrown frisbee in mid-air, all in perfect focus, no blur, with fantastic detail.
Great Camera, Pretty Good Price November 22, 2008

Been using this for not too long, but taking a ton of pics. Its tiny...almost too small for a DSLR, and that makes it very front heavy. But then again, since its so small and light, I carry it around more. The Active D-Lighting is stupid proof, as is the VR Image Stabilization. If you actually know how to run a DSLR full manual, I would actually say go for the D40 and use the extra money for another lens. They can both shoot RAW too. The D60 is more for the casual photographer who would like to use the presets, or full AUTO, kinda like me. Definitely go for a Class6 SD card, as write speed is heavily dependent on the speed of your SD card. I noticed a huge jump in speed from Class2 to Class4, and a smaller, but noticable jump from Class4 to Class6. And with SD cards so cheap now, you'll be cheating yourself to save a few bucks by getting a slower card. You'll notice it the most if you use RAW or ever use the multi-shot setting.
All in all, awesome camera for the average photographer. But advanced (read: manual) users might want a D40 because they know what they're doing or a D90 for the additional features, like HD Video.
