5 out of 5 stars Awesome Camera Very Recomended!   September 24, 2008
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

Actually I won't be talking again about the specification because all of you already know it. The D60 is my first DSLR camera I'm actually wasn't into photography that much, I just bought it because i asked a friend i want to take a quality pictures for my family because i had a regular annoying Casio camera which makes dots/noise in the pictures and ruins the moment of the photo, Any way he told me do you want the same photography as you see in the magazines or billboards i said yes i actually thought that all those pictures was like impossible and you need like i dunno graphic designer to do the work for you to make it so clean and sharp as they look and MAN I WAS WRONG..

1st day i bought this camera i took my 1st shot and i was like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW i never had a DSLR camera before i hate taking pictures but with this camera the first week i took over 13,000 pictures can you believe that awesome camera awesome quality and the help menu tought me a lot about photography i didn't even know anything about photography like what is ISO, Exposure etc.. it kept explaining everything in the menu and I'm here now buying the new D90 waiting for this babe to arrive.

Nikon makes the photography impossible to resist everyone this camera is worth every penny now i watch videos on You Tube and trying to learn and I'm buying bunch of lenses which costs me over $5000, it's hilarious actually, but i loved photography i keep taking shots for everything and i have like 700 GB hard disk full of pictures shot with my D60.

Please If you can afford it buy any lens than the one included the recommended is the 18-200 Nikon lens much better and have a very deep zoom and buy the 50 mm Nikon lens it's awesome for portraits shots and very very sharp. I can't believe my self talking about lenses and cameras but it's worth it i loved and you'll love it.. Good Luck with your D60 ;)

P.S. I uploaded some images i shot with my D60 you'll find it in the customer images section but beware that pictures quality are much better than what you see here in amazon because amazon crops and compress the picture very bad which ruin everything in the picture.

Bye...



3 out of 5 stars Just OK camera   September 19, 2008

I had high expectations but the camera is just a so so upgrade without many significant improvements. I had hoped for more. It is easy to use and very dependable bu if you are looking for advance features this camera does not deliver.


5 out of 5 stars Nikon D60 is an excellent camera   September 16, 2008

Nikon D60 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens

My main camera is a Nikon D2Xs, and I keep a Nikon D70s as a backup. I also use a Mamiya 645 Pro TL and Zenza Bronica ETRS II medium format cameras for special situations. In the past, I've used a Canon EOS 850 and many other cameras. Nikon is my professional choice!

I bought my son-in-law a Nikon D60 since he's interested in photography. I put it through its paces, and confirmed this is an excellent camera that can handle even the most demanding jobs. The high ISO with low (no) noise is very nice, allowing some great hand held shots with either deep depth of field or relatively high shutter speed. I like so many of the features of this camera, I may carry one when not lugging my huge D2Xs for assignments. This camera is small and light, but packs a lot of professional level features. Highly recommended.



5 out of 5 stars Very versatile compact dslr   September 11, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I've had the d60 for almost a week now and so far, I'm very happy with it. For a first-time dslr user, the d60 is very easy to use in auto mode. But the manual features it comes with allows me to learn how to take better pics and improve my photo skills. I'll definitely be able to grow with this camera. The build quality is excellent and it feels just right in my hands. The pics it takes are amazing. I tried the D40 at a local store and compared the pics to this one before buying as I've read that the d40 has better pic quality due to the lower mpegs (sounds a bit odd I know), but I couldn't tell the difference. I'm sure to a more trained eye, maybe the difference is more pronounced, but for me, the d60 pic quality is more than sufficient. Plus, I know some have said the AF is slower on the d60 and that the VR feature is not worth the extra $, but I disagree. The AF is bit slower from what I could tell, but not so noticable that it became a problem. Also, I purposely shook both cameras while taking some shots to see how well the VR works and it works really well. The d40 image obviously came out blurry (due to not having any auto stabilization), but the d60 one was as if I was holding still.

All in all, I'm very glad I bought the d60 and as long as the camera holds up, it will be with me for a long time. Besides, the Amazon price for the normal VR kit version is very reasonable now so the $ difference isn't as much as it was when the d60 first came out.

One thing to note, I've found that though the kit 18-55mm lens is fine for indoor use or close-ups, at least a 55-200mm lense will become a necessity if you do a lot of outdoor shooting, especially of things that are far away, so I'd recommend getting a bundle that comes with both the kit lens (18-55mm VR) as well as the 55-200mm VR lens. I should have done that myself, but thought I wouldn't need it right away. Well, I'm buying one already and it would've been cheaper to buy them together. Oh well...



4 out of 5 stars Great camera, many great features   September 10, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

The main thing purchasers should be aware of on this camera is that it does NOT have a digital view-finder/preview. All photos are shot through the eye view finder. This can be inconvenient if you need to hold the camera above your head, say, in crowds, or at ground level to capture a small animal or child.

That said, the camera is fairly light and simple to use. Controls are intuitive and some in-camera editing can be done (cropping, and lightening up dark areas, plus some filter effects). The photos are very good, but use the manual focus in dim situations if at all possible. And spend plenty of time learning the features.

It's a Nikon. It's a quality camera. And Amazon had the best price for a reliable seller of any place I could find. On that: beware those "gray market" sellers at all costs. Unless you buy hundreds of dollars of over-priced extras, you'll never see the camera, and they'll have your credit card information. You can trust Amazon, always.
