Nikon D60 - Small, Light and Easy to use.

If you are looking for a good camera with a good starter kit set of lenses, light, portable and easy to use, this is a good option. No, it is not a prosumer set but it takes great photos with the standard set of lenses found in the kits; 18-55mm and 55-200mm lenses. I have shot with this using a Targus grip and it is still light and quite portable. I typically use mine with an "all day lens" being a Tamrom 18-270 and it's great for what it is. I also have enlarged photos up to 13x19 with little to no issues with quality.

If I were on assignment or doing professional work, this is not the first choice, however. That said, it isn't meant to be. First time user? Get it, save money on your first camera body and invest in lenses from the start that will move to your next camera body (say a D7200, for example). Remember, this is a cropped sensor camera that requires the motors for autofocus to be in the lenses themselves. It does not have an in body motor function. But that is what makes it so light and inexpensive. Lire l'avis complet...

Good entry-level digital SLR

The shooting menu and weird information Nikon decided needs to display by default when you shoot is very odd and somewhat baffling. The first thing I did was turn off all that stuff in the camera setup.

As for shooting... it uses basically the same technology and processing algorithms as the D80. Image clarity, color rendering & saturation, etc. are all above average - in true Nikon form. The 10.2 megapixel images you capture with the D60 can easily produce an 11x17 or larger print.

To me, the biggest disadvantage to the D60 as opposed to the D80 is that when you use D or G lenses on the D60, the autofocus doesn't work. If you already have a lot of non-DX Nikon lenses, you should probably get the D80, which will use any lens currently or previously manufactured by Nikon.

Battery life is acceptable, the camera uses SD cards which are relatively inexpensive, and it's point-and-shoot capabilities are superb. If you don't plan to make large prints (bigger than 8x10), you should save some money and buy the D40, almost identical but with 6.1 megapixels. It runs about $300 less than the D60.Lire l'avis complet...

A Great Camera....

I really like this camera but only wished I had done just a little more research on the lenses before I bought. I ended up buying a kit from Sunshine Electronics here on ebay - they were fine and they sold me top notch products as promised but, in the end, the lenses I bought in the bundle really didn't have a lot of real world value for me.

The first lense was a Nikon 18-55 AF-S VR Lense. A good lense for shooting every day shots but, really, my point and shoot Pentax Z750 7mp camera takes great portraits and Misc. shots. My second lense was a 55-200mm Nikon AF-S VR. Once again a quality lense but, the reason I wanted a zoom was for sports (and some wildlife) photography...specifically to freeze motion in a variety of lighting situations. This lense just doesn't haven't the speed I need at a maximum F stop of 5.6 at 200mm (4 @ 55mm).

Don't get me wrong, the D60 is a great introductory SLR camera. You just may want to consider what you are buying it for and make sure you get the lense(s) that suits your purpose(s). I just ordered the Nikon 70-200mm AF-S VR f/2.8 ED lense which will work very well for what I want to do. I borrowed one from a friend and the results were AMAZING - clear shots in low lighting conditions and the photo's I took turned out great. I had friends wanting to get prints of some of the pictures I took at a Major League Baseball game.

Conclusion: Definitely buy the D60 if you are new to SLR photography like me. It's easy to use and learn and you can get top quality pictures as long as you use the lense best suited for your purposes. I had to pay about $300 extra for the kit to get the lenses I really don't need but an still happy with Sunshine electronics (one lense came damaged and they replaced it no questions asked). I plan on selling the 55-200mm VR lense on ebay...who wants to buy it!!Lire l'avis complet...

Good starter DSLR

Getting into SLR ( Single Lens Reflective ) technology like I did twenty five years ago with my Minolta XD-11 [ film based, btw ], I made the mistake of buying the expense camera body first and then building my lens up. It was frustrating. Having learned that lesson, I found that this camera makes a good start into the DSLR ( Digital Single Lens Reflective ) camera arena. It is packed with features that let you take phenomenal pictures. Now, as I said, while it is a good camera, it does have its flaws which make it only a good camera, not a great camera. It only has three focusing areas which will confuse your camera about 1% of the time when you are out in the field. The sensor could be better, 10.2 megapixels is nice, but the sensor is only average in the amount of light it collects which means in low light situations, it delivers performance akin to a 6 megapixel camera. The 10.2 megapixels are great though in well lit situations and deliver the quality of photo that will achieve most of your needs out of a good DSLR. Another thing is that the ISO only goes up to 1600 with noise ( like grain in a film camera ) while great DSLR camera's today can shoot up to 6400 ISO with little noise at all. Still, I got it principally so that I could start buying the expensive Nikon set of advanced VR lens that deliver fantastic optical results for their size ( And there are great choices too, 18-55mm, 18-105mm, 55-200mm, 55-300mm, 18-200mm, 400mm, 55mm, 35mm [ please note: DX Nikon Lenses act at 1.5 times the mm number for comparison to a standard 35mm lens. i.e. a 100mm lens for a DX camera acts as a 150mm lens on an old 35mm camera ). As soon as I have gotten to the point that I have all the lens I need, then I will want to get the kind of Speedlight Flash I need ( SB-800), the external flash battery pack I need, and the backdrop flash kits I want to use for family and friend portraits. Then, and only then, will I then purchase the great camera body I really want, say the D90, D5000, or a D700 to be my main camera. Yet, because I will have by then a collection of lens to support my photographic interests, the D60's small and compact footprint in a camera bag will mean that I can keep the D60 and use it with another lens while I use the main camera to shoot say sports, weddings, graduations, etc. And, since it uses a cheap wireless remote, I will even be able to set it up on a tripod and just take pictures of an event from a different angle while I shoot the event with my main camera. In conclusion, the D60 is that good starter DSLR that lets you build a good base of lenses and not feel cheated while you wait for the kind of camera you really want in your bag like the D90, D5000, or the D700. ( In all likelihood, I will buy the D90 since it uses the same battery as the D60 and the same wireless remote )Lire l'avis complet...

Nikon D60

This camera impressed me from day one. It is very user friendly and have a "?" button which help you with a function if you are not sure what it does. The photo quality is also excellent. I bought this camera as a package deal and received 2 lenses with it. The only problem is that the 18-55mm lens makes my photo's a bit blue, even if I change the light settings. When I replace it with the 55-200mm lens and take exactly the same picture, the photo comes out much more colourful, without the blue-ish light. The LCD info display does not work is direct light outside. But all in all - I am very happy with this product.Lire l'avis complet...

Nikon D60 camea outfit

I was looking to move up from a point and shoot camera, and after studying around came to the conclusion that this camera was the best value for the money. The packages vary widely on ebay, so pay very close attention to them and ask the sellers many questions if you have them, as with the one I bought some of the items listed as extra were really included within the manufactures box that you would have gotten anyplace.

The camera is very easy to use, the menu and on board help are awesome!!! Really helps a dummy like me. The only two things that I don't like about it are:
1. You can't look at the huge 2.5 inch lcd screen and take a picture, the only thing the lcd shows are all the settings, and the photos AFTER taking them, all pics must be taken thru the viewfinder. Coming from the point and shoot I am having a hard time adjusting to this.

2. The only way to auto focus is with lenses with motors built in, there is no on board auto focus.

Both of these are really minor, as the lens that comes with the package is quite nice, and I guess I will get used to using the viewfinder.

If you are looking for a nice upgrade, this is your camera, and at 10.2 mp, it takes one SWEET picture.Lire l'avis complet...

Good camera, lenses not completely compatible

I decided to buy this camera because I have been wanting a nice digital for a long time. I used to have a nice Nikon digital when I worked as a reporter for a small weekly; I fell in love with it and wanted my own after I gave the job up. The timing was right and so, on the advice of a friend, I searched Ebay for quite a while (and found they had very competitive prices) and purchased this package.

The camera itself is very nice -- although it was a little buried in the package description that it's a refurbished model. Despite that, it seems to be working fine. Also, the lenses I received with it are not all the way compatible, as they produce photos that are blurred around the edges when used in certain depths. When I called the place of purchase they were very helpful and, somewhat to my dismay, explained there is nothing you can do about this except to crop the photos. I guess that is my error in not researching more, but still, it was a little disappointing.

I am not a camera expert so I have little more to say except that I love Nikon cameras. I would really look into these packages before you purchase, just to make sure it is exactly what you want. It's tough when you don't have a ton of money to spend and you don't want to compromise quality. Overall, I would say this camera is worth the money spent and if you are just starting out, don't forget to READ YOUR MANUAL. You'll learn a ton just by reading about the features your equipment has.Lire l'avis complet...

An affordable yet professional solution

To me this camera feels like a cross-breed between the D40's low cost and the D'70's professional grade quality. For example, the D70 has a second LCD screen on the top so you can view aperture, shutter speed, ISO and other settings as you are taking pictures- which is excellent. But, unless you are very knowledgeable about photography, most of the data will be useless to you. Inversely, the D40 lacks too many features to a photography that knows what he is doing- it is essentially a point-and-shoot camera in a SLR's body.

The D60 does an excellent job combining these two cameras- all with auto-cleaning built in to prevent dust in the sensor (a problem I've had with cameras in the past).

Overall, it is an excellent first camera for a budding professional photographer, as it's a significant investment but one that is within reach.Lire l'avis complet...

Great camera great price.

Replaced my Dad’s broken original D60. Works great simple and easy to use. Great camera for new to photography and old handset it. Rivals new cameras at a faction of the price used.

Nikon D60 Black Special Edition with Customized Lens K

I love the camera, it's compact and light and gives the advantage of being a single reflex digital. My original intentions was to buy the body only and buy the Nikon AF 18-200mm f3.5/5.6G ED-IF DX VRII Lens which gives a range of close ups to telephoto. Unfortunate to expensive. I'm new to digital photography so my intentions are to learn as much as possible. I consider this camera an excellent investment. If you enjoy taking pictures this is the one.Lire l'avis complet...
