Pros: The D60 is a great camera for people who love photography and also need simplicity. Cons: ?Nikon?could incorporate some?more creative features?on the D60. from Shopping.com This is an excellent camera. For the price, you get a camera that can do just about anything. It is fast and the pictures are spectacular. from Amazon.com In one word. "perfect"..the basic lens kit works perfect.. This camera lacks Live View feature for which many prefers to buy others like Canon rebel XSI..but trust me.thats of no use..it really is not required..automatic mode will give u a feel of point n shoot camera with superb quality.battery backup is also good.color reproduction is fantastic..and yes very less noise with ISO 800 and above with Noise reduction feature ON.. from Amazon.com Review for the Nikon D60 with 18-55mm VR Nikkor lens from Amazon.com Using D40 for about a year, amazing camera! Bought the D60 'cause thought the 10MP would produce noticeably better pics. from Amazon.com I purchased a Nikon D60, and ended up returning to to the store for a D5000. I used to use film SLRs extensively, but have been away from photography for some time and have been wanting a dSLR forever. from Amazon.com My wife and I wanted a digital SLR camera that was reasonably priced and could deliver quality that was superior to our point and shoot cameras. It was hard to spend this much money on a camera for me, but we were going on a two week vacation to Italy and I couldn't get myself to go without one considering we knew how beautiful and colorful our adventures would be. from Amazon.com I have owned the D60 since November 2008 and for the most part have been pleased with my purchase. I have been able to improve my photography skills considerably with this camera's more advanced functions, but was also able to take amazing pictures right out of the box on the automatic settings. from Amazon.com I purchased my D-60 as a kit that included not only the camera but also two VR lenses (18-55mm and 55-200mm), gadget bag, 2 instructional DVD's, Nikon Capture software and a 2 GB San-Disk SD card for a total of $[...]. Having had a D-70s in the past, I found that the "learning curve" with the D-60 is not nearly as steep as some might make you believe. from Amazon.com After doing much reading and going back and forth trying to decide which camera was the one for me I went for the Nikon D60 - Price wise the Nikon is a little less than the Canon but if you are looking for an SLR camera you can spend a few bucks more to get the better quallity item, in my case after much web surfing I learned that the Canon has issues with service and the equipment itself, more than Nikon. As a customer I should be able to buy something and get what I paid for, if such item doesn't work 100% out of the box I should be able to get a new one and not have it sent for repair (then what is their quallity control good for?) - I barely found any issues with the Nikon brand, I found more praises that anything else. from Amazon.com
