Which feels flimsy
Is in fact a very good kit lens. Images are sharp and contrast is good. The image stabilisation is effective. Image quality straight from the camera is consistently go...

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
All thats missing in the Nikon D60 is Live View, an increasingly common function on DSLRs whereby the rear LCD can be used to compose and check images; useful if youre shooting flush to the floor, whereupon its impossible to get your eye level with...
Very good image quality, Kit comes with a quality 1855 mm optically stabilized VR lens, Very fast, Easy to use, Efficient flash control
Inefficient antidust system, Limited compatibility with new AFS lenses (internal motorization), No direct aiming with LCD screen, No wireless flash control, No software for RAW file processing
Small, fast and quite versatile, Often provides gorgeous JPEGs at default settings, Very easy to use in most respects,
Requires AFS lenses for autofocus; only three AF points, Omits Live View and depthoffield preview, Kit lens is a bit pricey (but includes a VR stabilizer)
Abstract: A little too much of a D40x clone, released last fall When I first opened up the box with the Nikon D60 ($599.95 for body only, $749.95 with 18-55mm lens), I thought there might have been a mistake of some kind. Having reviewed the D40x (D40x $629.95 ...
Light and compact design, Fast UI and overall performance, A good amount of new-age features, Great image quality, Accurate color reproduction
Misses the minute details, No Live-View as in newer D-SLRs
The Nikon D40 is a perennial favorite with students and entry-level consumers who want a D-SLR. The value pricing, compact design, and a good mix of features make it a hot seller even today. The D40x had some improvements, but apart from the megapixel ...

Optically stabilized kit lens; convenient onscreen user interface; compatible with a wide variety of lenses and accessories.
Pricey for what it offers; lens-based image stabilization is less flexible than sensor-shift offered by some competitors.
Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikons D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models.
Abstract: THE 10.2-megapixel D60 is the latest of Nikons junior DSLR series. It has no built-in focus drive motor which will probably not make a difference to a beginner.However, the lack of a focus drive motor may grate on you when you start building your lens...
