As with the D40/D40X
Nikon has chosen not to install a focus drive in the camera body. This means that the range of auto-focus lenses available for the camera is very limited. There is no Nikkor auto-focus prime lens that will work with the D60. And a...
Some minor chromatic aberration issues
No live view The Final Word Nikons D60 is a fantastic entry-level SLR that takes brilliant pictures and offers a robust feature set. It is ideal for users looking to take the plunge into more creative photography.
Pricey for what it offers
Lens-based image stabilisation is less flexible than sensor-shift offered by some competitors
Abstract: The Nikon D60 was announced on Monday, January 28th, 2008. The D60 is a replacement for the almost identical D40x. The D60 is a 10 MP DSLR that comes with an excellent 18-55mm VR lens for $750. I had my hands on a D60 today, January 30th, 2008. The D6...
Hannah ThiemFor a few fancy new features, the D60 is an improvement from the D40x. The street price is slightly more than the D40x was when released ($582; compared to the D40x at $549). Overall, the performance and quality is good and it’s a great...
Lightweight D-SLR offering, Good pricing for the performance and quality ($750USD), Fast shooting performance (3FPS burst), Feature-packed, high ISO settings, Kit lens includes Vibration Reduction, Works well in low-light situations, Uses ultra-affordable...
No second dial to make setting changes easier, No USB Mass Storage mode, No RAW+JPEG Fine setting, No live view mode, despite being a popular feature, VR not built into body, No button for simple ISO changing
When I first saw the press release for the D60, I wasnt sure what to think. Its specs come so close to the D40x, that it was just made so confusing. But after taking a look around, it seems that the D40x is harder than ever to find in stock at popular...
Abstract: Last August I requested to see this DSLR unit from Nikon and a series of miss communications means it finally arrived with me recently, was it worth the wait, it sure was! I always enjoy being stretched when I review a DSLR....
Abstract: The Nikon D60 is a perfect choice for newcomers to digital SLRs. Alternatively, as it offers excellent image quality, familiar Nikon menu systems and good scope for manual controls at a budget price, it would also be a favourable, lightweight back-up ...
Nikon starts as its means to go on. Despite being towards the more recession-friendly end of the digital SLR spectrum, the D60 produces deliciously sharp detail and mouth-watering colours. Its 10MP images really are as good as any you’ll get on a su...
The 2.5-inch display is handy for changing settings quickly but you can’t frame with it – the D60 doesn’t have Live View. It’s missing hand-holding features like Face Detection, Smile Shutter and a movie mode, as well as shutterbug...
The D60 risks being not quite friendly enough for beginners and not quite techy enough for advanced users, but if you just want a simple, easy to use SLR that shoots gorgeous, high resolution images, it fits the bill. The Sony A200 is well worth a look...
Abstract: When we first reviewed Nikons D60 in Whats New, Shopper 244, we found plenty to like, but at £443 the price was too high in the face of stiff competition. Luckily, Nikon has lopped off almost £100. Unfortunately, the competition is also cheaper a...
Abstract: I find that I cant help but love the Nikon DSLR range - they make it fairly impossible to take a bad photo, even for a decidedly non-expert photographer like myself. Dans taken quite a shine to the D60, which totes 10.2 megapixels, a 2.5-inch screen ...
