Nikon D60

Advantages: fantastic quality images
Disadvantages: bigger than a compact digital camera

...the £60 cashback offer from Nikon swayed me. I have never looked back. This camera is amazing, even my snapping results in shots that look semi professional! Its incredibly easy to use and really responsive, with a 5 month old baby I am no longer missing those moments but am capturing every expression as I wish. I have only had this camera about a month and so far I love it. It's certainly bigger than a compact camera so less handy to carry in your ... Read review

Advantages: Full range of SLR options
Disadvantages: Weight

...12 mega-pixel offered by new Nikon D300, for the price I paid Nikon D60 served me very well. Quality of pictures is still perfect and fantastically focused. As good DSLR camera should, Nikon D60 gives you loads of space to learn, train and improve your skills in photography. The advantage of it is the price of lenses. Once you widen your skills you'll start looking for different lenses and comparing to other brands Nikon is very affordable, also ...
...pictures. Everything else about Nikon D60 is cool though I would'nt buy a new one considering so many new models on the market. If you'll find a bargain price (i.e ebay) then it's a different talk. Go for it. Price range: £350 - £400 with 18-55mm lens It's worth looking at camera "body only" offers and buy lens seperate.

Advantages: lightweight
Disadvantages: none yet

Lightweight compared to the older D50 have been using for work, the LCD screen is much larger too. Ive had the camera for 2 months now and have only skimmed the surface of its capabilities, using it for real estate photography with a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens it has been excellent just set on the default settings (thankfully!) There are plenty of point and press settings to take happy snaps, automatic focusing with compatible lenses. Unlike the ...
...flash is good for fill in flash while happy snapping, but is a bit ineffective compared to the add on speedlight option. The battery life is excellent in comparison to my old coolpix 8700, i suppose this is because the lens zoom is performed by hand not a motor inside the camera. There is an editing program within the camera to adjust color and brightness of individual pictures, this has not been so successful as the representation on the camera's ... Read review

This is a brilliant camera! I upgraded to the D60 from a D50 and the small differances make up for everything. The pictures are more sharper and the colours more warmer. A doddle to use and brilliant for anyone wanting to step up from a point and shoot.

Advantages: Packed with extras, looks good and feels good.
Disadvantages: See review for the very minor con`s.

...a certain camera may have certain settings and options that they don't actually work too well and the images suffer when they are used. This is rarely the case with DSLR`s because they are designed to be used manually and it is certainly not the case with this unit. Every function offered works brilliantly to produce stunning images. To make some comparisons I went out and about with this unit as well as a Canon 400D and a Nikon D60, I took a photo using the same lens type on each camera in fully automatic mode and when the images are compared the one from the Sony A350 is clearer, sharper and all together more impressive, I then began to manually set settings (the same for each camera of course) and the only time the Sony was beaten and even then only just was when the Nikon D60 produced better results in poor light with a long shutter time...

...Fahrenheit so that they can be used to shoot photos in any weather condition So there you have it, an excellent buy if you are looking for more room to store your images and would like the fastest card on the market then this is for you. It is also faster when uploading the photos to your laptop or pc as long as your pc has good spec of course. Now obviously not all cameras take Sd cards but fear not Sandisk make a superfast Extreme III compactflash card also and most cameras will take one or the other. I am sure they will also have a version for other card types too if not now then definitely in the very near future. The only warning I will give is that I have heard of incompatibility issues with Canon cameras but can't say if this is true or not. The two cameras I was using were the Samsung GX-20 and the Nikon D60 both very powerful... Read review
