My boyfriend is a professional photographer and everywhere we go he takes his camera. He has a Nikon D200 so I always feel silly with my little point and shoot. I wanted something easy to use that I could learn and improve my skills without having to spend tons of money. After some research I decided on the d60. It's lightweight (compared to other DSlr's in my opinion) and takes excellent pictures. I have been pleased with the lens as well, it takes great macro shots and has a really clear crisp focus. Even my boyfriend uses my camera in addition to his for his work and is pleased with the results. I highly recommend this camera!Digital camera Review: Excellent Choice

We purchased this camera to be able to take pictures of our new baby. We previously had a Nikon Coolpix which was fine, but the lag in the camera taking the picture caused many missed moments even in taking pictures of our pets. We didn't want to deal with that with the new baby.
The D60 is in a completely different league. The shutter speed is quick and you can keep taking picture-after-picture. The images are clear and crisp.
Make sure to purchase an appropriate SDHC card for your usage; we purchased the 8GB SanDisk Extreme (with our settings it holds 2000 images and processes the images really quickly). Also, make sure to at least purchase a UV filter to avoid scratching the lens (A $6 filter is a lot cheaper to replace than a $150+ lens).

Nikon D60 is excellent SLR camera, and I like it. I use it everday to take a photos.Digital camera Review: Excellent Upgrade!
Summary: 5 Stars
Sold my D50 to upgrade to this D60. LOVE NIkon! Simple to use on auto, yet has all the controls if you want to use it in manual mode. Nikon lenses are truly superior to other top brands. I find that Canon point and shoot digital cameras are the best, whereas Nikon DSLR's are the best. Of course a lot of that has to do with the lens you're using. I would only recommend Nikon. Don't buy cheap off-brand lenses to save money, you pictures will suffer!
Screen is large with an easy to use display. Body is compact - which can be good or bad depending on how big your hand is/comfort level.
The 18-55 VR lens that came with it is slightly useless. You don't need VR on a short range lens like that. I used to have the 18-55 non-VR lens with my D50 and that worked fine. That's not to say the 18-55 VR isn't good, it's just not necessary. I would rather have VR on my 55-200 lens.
Also, recommend the Nikon SpeedLight SB-400, bouncing flash off the wall will make a HUGE difference in your photos, I wished I learned about it earlier (not included).
Overall, comes with all the accessories and basic lens you need to get started. It's an excellent choice at an excellent price. Check back on Amazon.com often as I've seen their price (sold directly from Amazon.com) range from $589 - $629.
