 The Nikon D60: Digital has finally won me over August 28, 2008
For years now, I have held onto my Nikon film SLRs for any "serious" photography. My SLR kit was heavy - the motor drive alone held 6 AA batteries -- and bulky, but it was the only gear I trusted for demanding photographic tasks.
Oh, I had my digitals as well. For a couple years I used my 6 Megapixel Fujicolor zoom camera for midrange shooting, and caught some great shots. But having to fight my way around the automation was a pain. When I finally lost a shot I really wanted because I couldn't outsmart the autofocus, I began looking at DSLRs.
I recently bought the D60 kit with both the 18-55 and 55-200 VR zoom lenses, and after a couple of weeks of very successful shooting, I finally mothballed my old Nikon film SLRs.
The D60 is lightweight compared to my old SLRs, but in every other respect it is no lightweight! I have full control over every aspect of exposure when I need it, and fast full-auto operation when I don't. The autofocus is fast and precise for most situations, but I can override it in an instant when I need to exercise direct control. The same with aperture, shutter speed, flash compensation, exposure compensation, and ISO.
I recommend the D60 for anyone who is still holding onto their film SLRs, waiting for digital to fulfill its promise to make film SLRs obsolete.
The best for the price. August 27, 2008
What more can you ask for? A Nikon Digital SLR, 2 extremely high quality VR lenses, which provide 18 to 200mm total combined, for less than $1,000.
The D60 has all the capabilities of some of the much higher priced bodies, great software, that allows a wide range of programmable shooting and it's fast operating. It would have been better with a 3" screen, but, the one provided is bright and sharp. The lenses are beautiful, sharp, contrasty, quick focusing. Even though I generally use a polarizer for scenics, I've found, while testing the lenses, the 18-55mm, in particular, provides enough saturation, most of the time, w/o the filter. This is typical Nikon "prosumer" equipment which provides the best quality/value for the money spent, for those of us who can not or do not want to spend "pro" dollars for our equipment. One last note, you must buy a lens hood for the 18-55mm lens. It is not provided, as usual. The 55-200mm comes with one, even though it may not be prominently noted in any specs you read. All around, this could not have been a better package buy.
Very Nice, but toss the kit lens August 27, 2008
The D60 has so much potential, but like any business, Nikon is more interested in right-now-profits than inspiring amateurs to learn more about photography. The kit lens is pretty good for its range, but it doesn't inspire creativity due to it's limited wide and telephoto ranges. I left the kit lens in the box and purchased the Nikon 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX ED VR Nikkor Wide Angle Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras, and it performs sooo nicely. See a great review with sample shots here: [...]
Nikon D60 Entry level DSLR August 25, 2008
Loaded with features that matter for 1st timers the Nikon D60 DSLR comes with a image stabilized kit lens providing great capability right out of the box. ISO 1600 images that are actually useable, these are much better than ISO 1600 images from a pocket digi cam or super zoom models. I read alot of reviews about entry level DSLR's before buying. I chose the Nikon because I believed it is a better overall camera than the Sony DSLR's. The lens autofocus motor is very quiet, and the kit lens image quality is very good. The camera shoots multishot at 3 FPS, full 10mp images. Nice for amateur sports shooting, probably a bit slow for professional sports shooting but to get that capability you would pay alot more.
I am very happy with this camera.
Nikon D60 a real winner! August 24, 2008
Nikon D60 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens
As a prosumer with 50 years of 35mm SLR film experience, I highly recommend the Nikon D60 to any new or old hand wanting to enter the digital SLR community at a very reasonable price, or upgrade from Point and Shoots. The quality of the D60 is a step up even from Nikon's 35mm SLR line.The ease of use and many practical features make this a most "user friendly" camera.
