 Great Photos June 17, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
This has been the best camera I have ever purchased and I have had my share. The self cleaning system to real ease of taking photos. The HD photos are unreal, true to life!!!! Buy it and you will not be dis-satisfied. If you have ever viewed an HDTV and seen how real it is then you will know about the pictures that you will get!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Camera! June 16, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Switching from a Cannon Powershot A95 point and shoot to a SLR Camera was a huge jump. When I first got it I was a little intimidated. Surprisingly I found it very easy to operate and I was out taking pictures that same day with the automatic setting of course. Now after a few weeks, I have gone through the manual and have become a lot more comfortable with the manual settings. I highly recommend buying at a minimum the Nikon ss-600 flash which is what I got. The pictures come out incredible and professional like. I am sure once I have more practice my pictures will be just as good as a Studio. At least that is the goal and with this camera and it's simple to understand functions, I am sure I will get there. I also bought the AF-S Nikon Nikkor 55-200mm Zoom lens as the lens that comes with the camera is limited on close ups. All three of these items including a 4 year protection, 8GB Card, Two extra batteries, Bag, cleaning kit and car charger where all bought via Amazon and Cameta Cameras which is an Amazon Retailer. Huge savings! Bought everything for around $1050. Compared to Best Buy where just the camera, protection plan, flash and extra lens was over $1300. If I would of bought everything at a local retailer like Best Buy, I would of spent almost $1700. Wow!
D60 Scores a 100! June 16, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Wow! This camera and lense package delivers! No, I do not work for Nikon or any marketing firm, but I am blown away by how much easier it is for this amateur to get reasonably clear pictures from farther away. Parents, you know what I mean--nothing disappoints like being on the sidelines of a soccer or football game, and trying to use that pocket camera to capture the action. It can't, but the D60 will make you feel like a pro when you look at your results. The 10 megapixles gives you lots of room to crop. You do not need a degree in digital photography to make it work, but I could use some tips on photo editing/finishing . . .
Definitely get the 2 lense package. The VR does make a difference and do not forget to get your 50mm UV (or circular polarized) filter. At least now when you are sitting in the back row at graduation, you have a chance at getting some pics you want to keep.
For the more technical readers out there, let me add that turning off autofocus is a must if you want to take quick action shots.
Also, spend a couple of bucks extra and get an quick 8 Gig mem card.
My first day out I took over 400 picures, toasted my battery, but had plenty of room on the card.

 Not a good D40 upgrade. June 14, 2008
65 out of 76 found this review helpful
I own a D40 that I am happy with, so I decided to upgrade to D60 for the few extra megapixels and a couple of other new features. I think D40's 6.1MP is a bit too low, 8-10 would have been ideal. Anyway, I had the D60 for a week and did not like it at all.
Pros
10MP
Kit lens now has VR
Same small, durable body as D40
Sensor cleaning - not a huge deal, but a plus
Cons
AF is considerably slower than D40, the camera often fails to focus at all indoors where D40 had no problem - this is a huge issue
AutoISO selects ISO much higher than my D40. Indoors, where the D40 shot below 400, the D60 never went below 1600. The camera just does not appear to be as sensitive as the D40.
Images are considerably noiser due to more megapixels and high ISO.
Any minor issues D40 had (WB, etc) are still present.
D-Lighting is a useless gimmick
If you have a D40/D40x, stick with that and wait for whatever is going to replace D80. If you are looking to buy a camera, I would still go with the D40 and save a few hundred. D40 is cheaper and faster.
Great and easy to use. June 5, 2008

I've owned several digital cameras in my lifetime. In fact, my wife gifted me the very first digital dinosaur made by Kodak. It took 1 hour to upload it's full capacity of 56 photos. My latest was a WiFi Nikon, very cool, 7 MP, 3.5 inch LCD etc... Moving onto SLRs, my goal was quick start up, virtually no time to wait for flash recharge, and unbelievable quality photos taken in pitch darkness without the resulting common graininess I'm used to. Without any hesitancy, buy this camera right away. It's a must have and you wouldn't need anything in the digital photography department anymore (can't promise you wouldn't want a SmartCar).
