Digital camera reviews of Nikon D60 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR and 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor Lens with 2 Nikon School DVDs
Digital camera Review: Sweet!
Summary: 5 Stars
Definitely the best electronic device i own. I have only had it the summer and have take between 5,000 and 10,000 pictures. It is lightweight and very user friendly. If you are a first time D-SLR user, I would recommend this camera because it is very easy to pick up and shoot great pictures. It is also great for an experienced photographer.
Overall, AWESOME!
Digital camera Review: The Nikon D60: Digital has finally won me over
Summary: 5 Stars
For years now, I have held onto my Nikon film SLRs for any "serious" photography. My SLR kit was heavy - the motor drive alone held 6 AA batteries -- and bulky, but it was the only gear I trusted for demanding photographic tasks.
Oh, I had my digitals as well. For a couple years I used my 6 Megapixel Fujicolor zoom camera for midrange shooting, and caught some great shots. But having to fight my way around the automation was a pain. When I finally lost a shot I really wanted because I couldn't outsmart the autofocus, I began looking at DSLRs.
I recently bought the D60 kit with both the 18-55 and 55-200 VR zoom lenses, and after a couple of weeks of very successful shooting, I finally mothballed my old Nikon film SLRs.
The D60 is lightweight compared to my old SLRs, but in every other respect it is no lightweight! I have full control over every aspect of exposure when I need it, and fast full-auto operation when I don't. The autofocus is fast and precise for most situations, but I can override it in an instant when I need to exercise direct control. The same with aperture, shutter speed, flash compensation, exposure compensation, and ISO.
I recommend the D60 for anyone who is still holding onto their film SLRs, waiting for digital to fulfill its promise to make film SLRs obsolete.
Digital camera Review: The best for the price.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Digital camera Review: Traded it for a D90 because I liked the 60 so much I wanted to have the movie feature also so I got the 90
Summary: 5 Stars
Great clear pictures but I really wanted the D 90 and the movie features. That was a big differance along with the sensor area of 11 points insted of just 3. I really like the 90..
