The compact 10.2-MP D60 delivers breathtaking picture quality and the versatile handling of a D-SLR, yet is incredibly compact, easy and fun to use. Nikon's high-performance,...
more...10.2-megapixel DX-format CCD imaging sensor and exclusive EXPEED image processing concept provide added cropping freedom and the ability to make larger prints. With fast startup and split-second shutter response, the D60 eliminates the frustration of shutter delay, capturing moments that other cameras miss. Capture sports action, precious moments and fleeting expressions at up to 3 frames per second, for as many as 100 consecutive JPEG images. Nikon's Active Dust Reduction System activates automatically, along with Airflow Control technology to reduce the amount of dust that reaches the sensor. Intuitive controls and an onboard HELP Menu System with Assist Images make the D60 truly easy to use, enabling everyone to capture beautiful memories perfectly. Nikon's original digital image processing concept, EXPEED, comprehensively optimizes pictures, shot after shot. Beautifully styled, the D60 makes high-performance digital SLR photography easier and more convenient than ever. You'll be amazed at the power packed into a camera that weighs just over 16 ounces. Playback images are easy to see and function menus are easier to use with a larger and brighter color LCD monitor. The large 2.5-inch LCD monitor enables image preview at up to 19 times magnification and has large type fonts with easy-to-view menus. Auto rotating LCD display provides automatic horizontal and vertical graphic display orientation. The D60's Assist Images help you select the appropriate settings for many camera features by showing an example image typical of that setting, as well as an advanced HELP Menu for the current item selected. The D60's Question Mark icon (?) indicates that help is available for the currently selected item; just press the HELP button beside the LCD monitor to see a context-sensitive HELP page. The D60's 3D Color Matrix Metering II evaluates each scene for brightness, color, contrast, size and position of shadows and highlights, selected focus area and camera-to-subject distance, comparing that information against an onboard database of more than 30,000 actual photographic scenes. The result delivers instantly and precisely determined exposures for each scene, even in challenging lighting conditions. The D60's Optimize Image setting lets photographers adjust color, contrast and sharpening, as well as other image settings, according to the type of scene or output desired. Settings include: Normal, Softer, Vivid, More Vivid, Portrait, Custom and Black and White, each of which are automatically adjusted based on sophisticated Nikon algorithms or user-selected settings for optimum results. Nikon's innovative i-TTL flash control evaluates flash exposure with incredible precision to achieve better automatic flash balance and deliver outstanding results. The built-in Speedlight is always readyto bring beautiful exposuresto darkened conditions, as well as add sparkle for fill flash in outdoor situations for enhanced twilight shots or an added impact to daylight images. In low-light or back-light situations, added illumination from the built-in Speedlight can make the difference between an average snapshot and a dazzling picture. The D60's advanced 3-Area AF system and the refined algorithms inherited from more advanced Nikon digital SLR cameras deliver fast, efficient and precise Autofocus. AF refinements deliver greater precision with fast, more consistent subject acquisition and improved focus tracking for consistently sharper pictures.

Great Entry Level D-SLR
Review of Nikon D60 by andrewjrvhunt

Advantages: Small (for a D-SLR), practical, easy to use, nice touches
Disadvantages: slightly heavy, relatively low FPS for burst mode, doesn't operate as a usb drive on the computer

...The supplied battery is a Nikon proprietary standard, but lasts for quite a while (I didn't do any specific tests, but I got about 800 photos before needing to charge). Handling The camera is rather good for taking pictures with: it offers the usual PSAM, an Auto mode, and specialised portrait/landscape etc. modes. It was great to have a camera with which (at last) I could also take free length exposures. If you are in any of the PSAM modes ... Read review

Light as the Air, Nikon D60
Review of Nikon D60 by aadamm

Advantages: Very small and light, wide range of Nikon lenses
Disadvantages: Slow Autofocus

Nikon D60 The Camera Itself Here it is, the slightly higher than entry level digital SLR from Nikon. On paper it seems very similar to many other similar priced cameras. So in this review, I dig a little deeper to see if there is enough difference to put you out of pocket. First thing you will notice is the size of the body. It is impressively small, very good for travel photography and in general circumstances. The bodies’ grip ... Read review

Easy to use, high quality digital SLR
Review of Nikon D60 by hkwilson

Advantages: Great price, excellent image quality & easy to use
Disadvantages: Night shot is not too good

...looks similar to all other Nikon cameras; with its black casing and minimal colour. The strap has 'Nikon' in yellow, but this is basically the only colour on the camera. MODES: There are 12 modes that come programmed into this camera, most of which come in extremely useful in different situations. It is very easy to switch between modes; you simply turn the dial on the camera. For the more professional photographers out there, the Aperture Priority ... Read review

brilliant Nikon D60
Review of Nikon D60 by MWORMAN

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

Want to learn?
Review of Nikon D60 by qistjan

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 allows ... Read review

Review of Nikon D60 by Mindie2

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 ... Read review

Quick review of Nikon D60
Review of Nikon D60 by TheCrowUk

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: ease of use, qulity of pictures, nikon menu system.
Disadvantages: None so far

...priced entry level DSLR. The supplied Nikon zoom lens is a decent optic which takes more than satisfactory pictures. On board flash is capable if not spectacular. I have owned this camera for 6 months and have not been disappointed with it. just make sure you buy a high capacity , fast memory card, as slower ones seriously slow down the processing. ...
