 An Amazing SLR for a Beginner August 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The first digital camera that I ever bought was the Nikon Coolpix 4300 and I really like it, but I lost it when I was in San Francisco. I was going on a cruise and had to have another camera, so I rushed and bought the Nikon Coolpix S5. I was NEVER satisfied with it! I travel a lot and I hated coming home with terrible pictures, so this year I invested in the Nikon D60. This was a big step and a lot of money, for me. With everything it was almost $1000. I bought filters and an SDHC 4GB memory card. I wanted to be ready and I love this camera. Mind you, I'm an amateur, but I am willing to learn. Right now I am only using the manual setting and the pictures are amazing! There are so many in-camera settings that I know nothing about, but Ritz camera has a class on the D60 in October that I plan to take, as well as other photography classes. This camera is fast, the pictures are crisp and the shutter response is very fast. I felt like a professional taking pictures on my vacation in Europe. I know I'll get better, because this is something I'm very interested in. You'll adore the Nikon D60 SLR. You won't be disappointed.
Awsome August 9, 2008

My first DSLR.
This is as good as it gets folks! I got the 18-55 kit a week ago and have already ordered the 55-200 lens and the speedlight. I'm positive there are better cameras out there, but for the price, it's hard to see how this can be beat. I'm eagerly learning the manual modes to really be able to use all the creative freedom that this camera offers. I have only scratced the surface, but I'm blown away by how good the pic's look and how easy the camera makes taking "perfect" (to me anyway) shots.
It's solid but not bulky, the menus are just plain easy to understand (with a help system), and the buttons seem to have ended up just about where your fingers expect them to be.
If you are moving from a point-and-shoot to something more advanced, this is the one.
 Buyer Beware (of Software) August 9, 2008
8 out of 16 found this review helpful
Warning to anyone buying a Nikon D60 and expecting it to come with processing software. You, like me, may be sorely disappointed. I used a Nikon D50 for years (it was stolen) and thought I was replacing it with an "upgrade." The old D50 came with a decent if simple processing software program called Picture Project which allowed you to edit pictures (crop, tweak, etc.). THE D60 DOES NOT! No one tells you this in advance. The D60 comes with a completely inadequate program for "viewing" pictures but not editing them--ViewNX. It's good for nothing. When I found this out the hard way and called Nikon they told me I would have to buy their new Capture software for $179. If you are about the spend $700 on this camera, be prepared: if you want to edit your pictures on your computer (and not just on the tiny LCD screen on the camera), you'd better budget another $179. Nikon should be ashamed of themselves. Let the buyer beware.
Nice first Digital SLR August 9, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is my first Digital SLR, I've spent the past several weeks learning how to use it. The settings are pretty easy to change, without requiring alot of deep menu navigation. Whats nice about this camera is that the auto setting takes really good pictures, a must for someone that isn't used to all the settings offered in manual modes. Good battery life, support for SDHC cards, a decent all around lens, and a great price make this one of the best DSLR's for a first time buyer.
Cons: The camera kit does not come with a video out cable to hook up to your TV, and the Nikon cable is unavailable everywhere online. Pretty lame for a $600 camera not to include this.
