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: Good camera for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
I received my camera two weeks ago and am quite pleased with it. I owned a Minolta Dimage S414 with 4 Mega Pixles before. I have taken over 50 pictures with this camera so far and am extremly pleased with it, since I am a beginner in Ditital SLR. I would recommend this camera to anyone.Digital camera Review: Good lightweight dSLR
Summary: 4 Stars
I have enjoyed my D60 since purchasing it a year ago. It has served as a great camera for teaching me the details of taking a beautiful photo. I would recommend it to anyone who is just starting out in the dSLR world, as this camera certainly allows for broad control of many features of each photo, but also provides help when needed through help menus and automatic mode features.Digital camera Review: Great Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent camera, all of the features described work perfectly. Some features that I particularly enjoy are the ability to create different image folders on the camera, and switch between them; the stop motion movie creator, which forms up to 100 images into a .AVI video file; and the fact that Nikon non-electronic film lenses fit on the mount and are completely usable in Manual mode. I truly love this camera, and it works great, just I would maybe consider other options as well. The D40 is the cheaper alternative, and you don't lose much by opting for it. The D90 is quite a bit more expensive, but offers HD video and live viewing. The D3000 is a slight upgrade from the D60 and a bit less expensive from what I have seen. I would consider all of these choices before purchasing. I complain a bit about size and portability, as I would not want to have this around my neck for an entire day of sightseeing, but that is what point-and-shoots are made for, ease and portability. dSLR cameras are made for being fully manipulative digital cameras that have excellent quality and have the ability to change lenses, ISO, focusing methods, aperture, white balance, and shutter speed to the user's desire.

Camera is a "Factory Demo" and you don't find this out until the item is shipped so it's not exactly as it is stated in the posting. Having said that, I have had no problems with the camera, but it has one small mark on the bottom. Has taken some amazing pictures, and I've only really used it on the "automatic" setting.Digital camera Review: Great Camera

I purchase the Camera from Cameta Camera, here on Amazon. The Camera is great. It's very easy to use and takes excellent pictures. I only have one complaint about the camera. The sensor that turns off the LCD screen when you put your face up to the viewfinder is WAY to sensitive. If you happen to be in a certain kind of light, for instance under a tree where the sun/shade is sporadic, the screen will get confused and blink on and off repeatedly. Check the forums and you'll see it's a common problem with the D60. When it starts to do this, it's best to just turn the Auto off function off until you are in better light. I think it's just a shoddy design flaw. It's not a huge deal, it's just when you dump a few hundred dollars on something, you expect it to work flawlessly. No such luck. Other than that, it's a great camera.
Now a word about the seller. Take from this what you will. I bought my D60 here on Amazon from Cameta Camera. They supposedly sell a Nikon Factory Refurbished D60. That is NOT true. I don't know hoe they get away with such false advertising. When I purchased the product, I was sent an invoice that said "Nikon D60 Factory Demo". These are cameras that have been used for advertising purposes in stores, trade shows, etc. That is not what I ordered or wanted. I immediately called Cameta and spoke to a very friendly customer service representative who assured me that the camera I ordered was indeed a Factory Refurbished product and that the invoice was simply wrong. She even said that the invoice said Factory Demo because they were having a problem with their software. That was a lie. Later, when I was having problems with the LCD screen, I spoke to their technical support representative, who shed light on their products. He said that when they are listing an item, Amazon does not have an option for "Factory Demo" and so they have to select "Refurbished". When I expressed my disappointment, the Representative actually said, "If it will make you feel better if I tell you it's refurbished, I'll tell you it's refurbished." Pretty shocking. So, a word to the wise. If you want a Factory Refurbished D60, do not order it from Cameta.
