 Great camera for the price. November 2, 2008
If you only have 600$ (I got mine for 564$) to spend I believe that this is the camera for you. Takes some awesome pictures right out of the box (provided you have a memory card). The modes on this thing are amazing - although I find myself sticking mostly to shutter and manual modes (having come from a film camera background). Prepare to be amazed at the ease of use and the freedom to carry this unit anywhere it's overall size and weight are both big enough to hold easily and light enough to bring with you anytime. If you're a casual picture taker or semi-professional - this is a great unit and you can save enough to warrant getting a lens upgrade or a flash. I enjoy this camera daily and hope that you will too.

I originally had a D90 - which is one heck of a camera, but it is about twice the price of the D60.
The D60, though a smaller body, provides excellent photos.
The D60 has fewer features than the D90 - such as a maximum ISO of 1600, but this camera is feature rich for the price.
This is my first DSLR as I had previously used print Canon's.
The D60 works well in low light situations - for example shooting indoors without a flash.
This camera offers good value and performance - I am very happy with this unit.
Nikon D60 w/18-55 lens October 30, 2008
Excellent camera. I am very satisfied with the versatility and resolution.
For the money this camera has the necessary 10.2MP to provide professional
pictures. Highly recommended. The Nikon support is par excellence. Technical help is available for questions that are unavailable in the
manual.
great camera by all means October 30, 2008

i got it from amazon, well i think amazon is the best place to buy from, fast shipping, on time and very good after sale service.
the camera is great as an entry dslr, its fast, gives accurate photos even in low light condition. other advantage is the in camera editing and repair. its light weight compared by other competators.
first i was confused between the canon rebel xsi and the d60. when i held them both in my hand i found the nikon more freindly and the color the nikon gives is out of the canon's reach.
this is a great camera. thank you amazon
Great camera to jump from film or P&S to DSLR October 30, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've had the photograpy bug for a little over 40 years. I started out with a Nikkormat FT in high school. 15 years later I bought a Nikon FM. I still own both and they still work just fine. I've owned several point and shot cameras along the way also but have wanted to make the jump to a DSLR for quite some time. I had a wish list for quite a while that originally had the D40 but updated it to the D60 when it came out. My loving spouse took the list, did some research of her own and surprised me with a D60 kit containing the 18-55 & 55-200 VR DX zooms for my birthday in August. What a keeper I married :)
I have to say that I am absolutely happy and amazed with this great little digital beauty. It works great with my older Nikkor lenses and the 2 DX VR lenses are wonderful too.
The various "auto" modes work great when you want to let the camera do some, most or all of the work, OR need a quick shot and don't have the time to do more than compose. The manual mode allows complete control for those with the experience or beginners who want to learn by experimentation.
The small size might be a problem for a large-handed individual, but it fits my medium sized paws to a T. The 10.2 megapixels, large ISO range, 3 metering methods, multiple shooting modes and huge range of Nikon accessories and Nikkor lenses make this a great platform for the beginning dslr user as well as the more experienced. And the price at Amazon with both DX VR lenses is a great deal.
One more thing. The manual from Nikon is thorough, but not well organized or illustrated. Because of that, I recommend that you also buy the "Nikon D60 (Focal Digital Camera Guides)" by Corey Hilz. It's far better organized and illustrated, has a great quick start section that will get you up and photographing in just a few minutes and has great tips and techniques from Corey, who is a great photo pro and shows how to use all of the great features this camera has. Well worth the current $13.57 price tag on Amazon and can be found here:
