Digital camera reviews of Nikon D60 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens
Digital camera Review: A great camera, but dont' forget the memory card
Summary: 4 Stars
First, don't ever buy a camera without holding one in your hands. Both Nikon and Canon make great cameras. The difference boils down to what you are comfortable with. I like the Nikon and got the D60 because I wanted something that I could hold with one hand (used for outdoor photography). Otherwise, I would have gotten the D80.
If you are new to digital SLRs, the menu system can be quite intimidating. Don't let that influence your decision as you will get used to it. You can take pictures immediately using the auto mode and worry about the menus later.
Important note: You need a memory card to do anything. No memory card, no picture (it does take the picture, but nothing is saved). Memory cards are cheap. I got a Kingston 4 GB SDHC Class 6 card for $14.95 (Class 6 is the best).
The camera comes with a US warranty.
As for long lenses, I got a Sigma 70 - 300 mm tele-macro instead of the 55 mm - 200 mm Nikon lens. There's no autofocus or VR, but it's not important to me. What's important is getting the extra 300 mm with a macro capability and good quality optics. You can fill the frame with a spider at 2 feet with this lens.
