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

...I had been wanting to upgrade from my compact digital camera for a while as I was constantly disappointed with the quality of the images, (a fuji finepix in case you are interested). I was recommended this camera by a friend and although it seemed a bit more than I wanted to spend, 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 bag, but the difference in the quality of images is well worth it. I can't recommend this camera highly... Read review

Advantages: Full range of SLR options
Disadvantages: Weight

...I own this camera for quite a while now and I'm fully satisfied with it. Though its 6.1 - 10.2 mega-pixel resolution was beaten with over 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 allows you to fit lenses by other producers. I'll skip all technical sepcifications that you can find on sellers websites and focus on my experiences. Ok, we have camera body and for example 70-300mm lens, and that is a bit heavy. Get a good bag for it... Read review

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 compact cameras there is no digital zoom and the inbuilt 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... Read review
