Digital camera Review: As automatic or manual as you want
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently replaced my old Olympus film SLR with the D60. I have liked my digital Nikon pocket cameras because they are small and easy to use, and my pictures always had better quality than those taken with other similarly-priced brands. However, the pocket cameras' shutter lags really annoyed me and I really missed the quality that glass optics give to landscapes.
So far, I am delighted with the D60. I have taken several short photo classes and experimented with the camera's settings. I am really impressed with the photo quality and ease of use. The D60 is easier to use than my film SLR because the screen reminds me of my settings and offers help. I can see what options I chose for each picture on-screen. The camera lures me into trying manual settings. I am very happy with the quality of the photos I have printed.
Digital camera Review: Beautiful Camara
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera was my entry into Digital SLR cameras and now having it for a month i can honestly say if i had the money i would have gone for the d90 for the ability to shoot video in full HD with a nikkor lenses but that's just not what i needed for a good entry level camera, but the d60 takes beautiful pictures, and has every option you could ask for.Digital camera Review: Best Entry Level DSLR
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best entry level DSLR for anyone going from a P&S to an SLR camera. The automatic settings are wonderful, and while not always precise, are a good introduction to the exposure triangle for people who have no formal photography training. This camera provides a lot of options for customizing the automatic modes as well as using a fully manual mode (manual exposure) that will allow the photographer to take charge of the entire photographic experience. The self-cleaning system is a great way to keep images sharp and avoid nasty dust spots on images.
The combination of the two lenses is great. Too few kits exist that include multiple lenses. These lenses are some of Nikon's best for this level of product (consumer SLR). The vibration reduction allows the photographer to shoot more frequently off of a tripod. My only complaint with the lenses is the that they have difficulty focusing close and need assistance for close focus, in the form of a close-up filter.
Great product for any new photographer, not great for a professional, but I have no regrets about it.
Digital camera Review: Best gift I ever got
Summary: 5 Stars
Total novice mom is taking professional quality pictures of child.
AMAZINGLY EASY...auto settings are great...can't wait til I really dig in and learn about all the fancy stuff and manual settings. I am a point and clicker....this is AMAZING.
Great for beginners and I am sure that well experienced photogs would enjoy. Took this to Disneyland and their professional photogs that take your picture throughout the park said that was the kind of camera she was going to buy after having tried mine.
DAMN>>>it feels good in your hand.
Digital camera Review: D60 Scores a 100!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! This camera and lense package delivers! No, I do not work for Nikon or any marketing firm, but I am blown away by how much easier it is for this amateur to get reasonably clear pictures from farther away. Parents, you know what I mean--nothing disappoints like being on the sidelines of a soccer or football game, and trying to use that pocket camera to capture the action. It can't, but the D60 will make you feel like a pro when you look at your results. The 10 megapixles gives you lots of room to crop. You do not need a degree in digital photography to make it work, but I could use some tips on photo editing/finishing . . .
Definitely get the 2 lense package. The VR does make a difference and do not forget to get your 50mm UV (or circular polarized) filter. At least now when you are sitting in the back row at graduation, you have a chance at getting some pics you want to keep.
For the more technical readers out there, let me add that turning off autofocus is a must if you want to take quick action shots.
Also, spend a couple of bucks extra and get an quick 8 Gig mem card.
My first day out I took over 400 picures, toasted my battery, but had plenty of room on the card.
Not sure if this i
