 The best for the price. August 27, 2008
Picsphoto (Bayonne, NJ)
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.
Nikon D60 Entry level DSLR August 25, 2008
Walter P. Watson (Massachussets, USA)
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
James Davis (Tifton, GA USA)
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.
 Idiot-proof August 19, 2008
Boone (West Orange, New Jersey)
This camera was delivered on Friday and I left for England on Saturday with no time to do anything more than charge the battery and attach the lens. I thought I would have a look at the instruction booklet and camera on the plane over. So of course I left the book at home! Bottom line, I came home with about 300 beautiful pix -- Camera easy and intuitive to use. I only gave 4 stars because I haven't had a chance to discover its flaws, if any. Everyone who sees the pictures either says, "what camera do you have?" or "you take great pictures!" Looking forward to discovering and using all the features and tuning up my photographic skills for the next big vacation!
Very Satisfied August 19, 2008
R. Buckley (SAN DIEGO)
I've only had for a short time, but I took it on my vacation.It's takes very sharp shots. It's also very easy to use. I also have an FZ18 which I used for comparison. In night shots which I took alot of, the Nikon was definitely superior. I also provides good color saturation which I personally like.I'm very satisfied with it's performance. I thought the night shots were a good test of it's capabilities. I still have moer to learn about the camera but it's size and weight made it a good companion. I did alot of research between the other cameras before making this purchase, I believe I made the right decision. I didn't like the feel of the Canon Xsi, and was concerned about high contrast with the Olympus E-510,the Nikon D80 was a close second, but I compared specs carefully and think the D60 with upgraded lenses make sense as You get most bang for the buck. This camera will be obselete in a few years so go for the lenses.They won't.
