Strengths: Fast focus on the 55-200 lens. Camera is relatively wuiet and easy to use for a first time SLR user. Easy to grip and hold.
Weakness: Only thing I don't care for is the display automatically cutting off when the camera is raised to the eye because if you tilt it at all it cuts off... I have discovered how to turn it off though!
Love it so far.. This camera seems to be a very good choice for a first time SLR buyer. The price is good for the kit and is all you need to get started. Battery charges fast and seems to hold the charge for about 400 -600 photos. Takes great shots and they pics crop down and hold form and color.
Strengths: Compared to other DSLR's: light weight, compact, quick and easy to use. Takes great photos and the price is hard to beat. The VR lens that this comes with is a must.
Weakness: If you are looking at cameras this is the way to go but I would suggest getting an additional lens.
My friend has the d40x which is what I was going to purchase. When I saw this and read about the upgrades on this camera and saw the price point, I quickly changed to this camera. It has some great features and the fact that it comes with a VR lens, this is the best way to go for an entry level prosumer cam.
Strengths: Sharp photos, no shutter lag, sensor cleaner & In-camera retouching & editing
Weakness: Pricey, only 10.2 MP
If you are used to a compact point-and-shoot and want to overcome the shortcomings of these cameras, then consider the Nikon D60. This camera is designed for newcomers to DSLRs and Nikon wants you to feel at home with this camera. The size and weight is just slightly more than a deluxe point-and-shoot with lots more options for those who want to take photography more seriously. Among the major...
Strengths: Accurate and high resolution lens are installed.
Weakness: A little bit heavy.
I highly recommend to buy this because of the following. 1.Price is reasonable. 2.High quality images will be enjoyed. 3.No expertise needed.
Strengths: Compact DSLR, Excellent IQ , Sensor cleaning, lcd turn-off sensor. Good travel camera with the 18-55vr kit lens
Weakness: No Liveview
I bought this camera to back up my Nikon d300. I used the d60 with the 18-55vr kit lens and the d300 with the 70-300vr when I have some assignments. I don't miss any shot with this setup. When traveling, I just use the d60 with the kit lens. The d60 kit is good in low-light and indoors. ISO auto goes up to 1600 without any noticeable noise with the help of the 18-55vr lens. It has eye-sensor near...
Strengths: Very light weight Lots of editing functions within camera
Weakness: No way to view live image in LCD
Very small very light camera body, but with the addition of the lens, you get a camera with the center of gravity toward the from of the lens. The LCD is very large and bright. Some of the more used functions (F-stop) seem to be only accessible from the menu system, but there appears to be a say to custom tailor a "My Menu" of commonly used menu functions. Overall a very good camera.
Strengths: Very easy to use. Great for entry level SLR user. User friendly. The vibration reduction lens is a plus. Produce great looking photos.
Weakness: A little over price. No view through LCD
After my first compact digital camera stop working, I am ready for my first SLR camera. The Nikon D60 is small and easy to handle. I was able to learn all the features in minutes. I especially like the vibration reduction feature, It helped me create excellent quality images. Overall, Nikon D60 is a great camera for first time SLR buyer. It may not be perfect, but it's close.
Strengths: Size
Weakness: lack of liveview
This is a great entry level camera for me. I never had a DSLR but I used a d70s at work. It lacks of AF motor which limit the prime lens that can be used. However, I feel that it is ok without prime lens since I won't be doing serious photography. Currently I can not find any online retailer selling the LCD protector. Let's hope more accessories comes by. I also bought 18-200mm lens, sb-600...
Strengths: 1 VR len 2 Higher Pixels
Weakness: 1 No live view 2 Cheap body
This camera was bought for replace my Canon Reble Xt. It has better feature like the VR kit len and higher pixels. The disadvantage is that the material used for body construction is kind of cheap. The len also feel cheap.
THE GOOD: Optically stabilized kit lens; convenient onscreen user interface; compatible with a wide variety of lenses and accessories. THE BAD: Pricey for what it offers; lens-based image stabilization is less flexible than sensor-shift offered by some competitors. THE BOTTOM LINE: Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikons D60 fails to impress and costs more...

The Nikon D60 is an entry level SLR similar to the D40 with a few key improvements. Including a 10MP sensor instead of 6MP, Active Dynamic Lighting, Active Dust Reduction System and the VR lens system with the kit, this camera is a great compromise between cost and performance in the SLR world. The basic kit includes the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens. ... PROS: (1) Compact and light...

The quality is superb and being a photographer this can only make you happy. The price could also be a strong plus. At the moment of this review, the price is 100 Euros less than that of the biggest competitor, the EOS 450D. Apart from quality, price will also play a big role in your decision as to which camera to buy. In my opinion the Nikon D60 is absolutely a recommendable camera.

Though it's quite similar to the Nikon D40x, that's only one more reason to give the Nikon D60 a Dave's Pick - it more than upholds the D40/D40x tradition. The Nikon D60's 10.2-megapixel image sensor turns out great quality images, made better by the new optically stabilized 18-55mm VR kit lens. Like its predecessors, the Nikon D60 is so easy and fun to use, it's almost immediately become one of...

If you've ever seen the Nikon D40 (introduced in November 2006) or the Nikon D40x (March 2007), a glance at the D60 may remind you of a Talking Heads song – the size, shape, and overall design are same as it ever was, same as it ever was. Under the hood, though, there are significant improvements, including a a more powerful processor, a kit lens incorporating image-stabilizing VR technology,...

The Nikon D60 is an entry-level digital SLR aimed squarely at consumers. It has a friendly interface with numerous help screens, in-camera photo editing, and very vivid color that borders on unrealistic. You also get a dust reduction system, snappy performance, Active D-Lighting, and solid build quality. There are quite a few downsides, though, including a limited selection of autofocus lenses, a...

Ultimately there’s two kinds of people who’ll be considering the D60. First-time DSLR owners and enthusiasts on a budget. The former will love its ease of use and vibrant images using automatic settings. Enthusiasts will also benefit from these, but in the long term could become frustrated by limitations including its 3-point AF system, indirect access to popular settings and reliance on...

Nikon D60 Camera
Strengths: - easy to use - good lens with vibration reduction
Weakness: - a bit overpriced - only supports certain autofocus lenses - no top display for settings - no Live View
After having used a high-end SLR-like digital camera for the past 3 years, I decided it was time to invest in a real DSLR. After much research and waiting, I decided to pick up the Nikon D60. I bought the body with the 18-55 VR kit lens. The camera was pretty easy to pick up and the user guide is pretty helpful. It looks like Nikon has resolved a lot of the shortcomings of the D40/D40x by either...
