I purchased this product as a gift. I had no idea how many Nikons are out there and their possible configerations. The customer reviews were insightful and very informative. Amazon's service is great!!

Sold my D50 to upgrade to this D60. LOVE NIkon! Simple to use on auto, yet has all the controls if you want to use it in manual mode. Nikon lenses are truly superior to other top brands. I find that Canon point and shoot digital cameras are the best, whereas Nikon DSLR's are the best. Of course a lot of that has to do with the lens you're using. I would only recommend Nikon. Don't buy cheap off-brand lenses to save money, you pictures will suffer!
Screen is large with an easy to use display. Body is compact - which can be good or bad depending on how big your hand is/comfort level.
The 18-55 VR lens that came with it is slightly useless. You don't need VR on a short range lens like that. I used to have the 18-55 non-VR lens with my D50 and that worked fine. That's not to say the 18-55 VR isn't good, it's just not necessary. I would rather have VR on my 55-200 lens.
Also, recommend the Nikon SpeedLight SB-400, bouncing flash off the wall will make a HUGE difference in your photos, I wished I learned about it earlier (not included).
Overall, comes with all the accessories and basic lens you need to get started. It's an excellent choice at an excellent price. Check back on Amazon.com often as I've seen their price (sold directly from Amazon.com) range from $589 - $629.
 Despues de una D40, Una D60 July 24, 2008
1 out of 12 found this review helpful
Luego de tener durante casi un ano una D40 como mi primera DLSR, pase a comprarme una D60. En el cuerpo es exactamente igual a la D40. La que yo compre trae dos lente lo que ya significa mayor amplitud en la posibilidad de las fotografias. Sinceramente una de las cosas mas resaltantes como el Auto Limpiador es lo que menos cuenta te das que es una innovacion. Quizas lo mas importante es el tamano de las fotos que pasa de 6 Mp a 10Mp. La lectura de las fotos es significativamente mas lenta y eso me imagino se debe al tamano de las mismas, aunque si bajas la calidad de la foto en la D60 a 6Mp aun sigue siendo mas enta que la D40. La implementacion de Skylight como boton es muy practico, hasta el manejo de los botones para las funciones a mejorado, se puede hacer utilidad de las funciones de manera mas rapida.
La calidad de las fotos es mucho mejor en la D60 que en la D40, la profundidad de los colores y la definicion evidentemente es mucho mejor.
VERY PLEASED with this compact DSLR July 19, 2008

I began my excursion into the DSLR world with the Olympus 4/3 system, which is a fantastic system, period. What lured me away from Olympus to the Nikon DX DSLR system was the simultaneous introduction earlier this year of the now widely acclaimed 16-85mm VR zoom lens and the D60 DSLR, which has a built-in dust reduction system. IMO, the IQ of the D60, when used in RAW capture mode with the 16-85mm zoom lens, is a notch above that of the Olympus E-410 (equipped with the ZD 14-54mm zoom lens), which I owned for several months (and before that the E-1 and E-330). The D60 wins hands-down in the noise department, even at low ISO settings, and beats the pants off the E-410 at higher ISOs. The same is true for dynamic range. It's not that the E-410 has poor dynamic range, becuase it doesn't. Rather, the D60 has such unbelievable dynamic range that, compared side-by-side, it makes the dynamic range of the E-410 look weak by comparison.
Bottom line: With the exception of a few missing features noted below, the D60 has nearly everything I could ask for in a compact DSLR and is nearly perfect when combined with the spectacular 16-85mm VR zoom lens.
Features missing or lacking in the D60, include:
* no exposure or white balance bracketing
* only 3 focus points (not really a problem for me personally)
* no live view feature (I bet this feature will be included in the D60 upgrade)
* menu navigation system is much clunkier than the one used by Olympus consumer DSLRs
Regarding the 18-55mm VR D60 kit lens, it's actually quite decent. Stopped down a bit, it may be close in IQ to the 16-85mm VR lens. If cost is factor, the quality of the 18-55mm VR lens makes the D60 kit a fantastic deal.
Pleased with camera; first digital SLR experience July 19, 2008

I've had the camera several weeks now and have used it a number of times. Although I've used a regular SLR for years, the D60 was my first time to use a digital SLR. So far, the controls seem to be pretty intuitive, the auto-focus has worked better than expected, and the clarity of the pictures has been fantastic. I'm very pleased with the camera.
