Light as the Air, Nikon D60

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 will fit the contours of your hand well even if you have large hands, like myself. The 10.2 megapixel sensor is expected, but possibly may have benefited from upping to 12 megapixels or more. As beginner to enthusiast photographers develop they will be left wanting more pixels to suffice their needs. The manufacturers? website states it also includes, ?Active D-Lighting.? This is said to...

brilliant Nikon D60

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...

Review of Samsung D60

Great Entry Level D-SLR

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

...Recently my sister got one of these cameras, and I was lucky enough to be allowed to use it. It was a pleasure to use, even great fun. It offers great functionality for a fraction of the price of some D-SLRs. Much better than any compact camera I have ever used. Construction As with any SLR, this camera can be quite large if you are used to the bog-standard compacts you usually see. Then again, my Fujifilm E900 is already a large camera. However, the D60 is quite small for a SLR, especially compared to some of the professional monsters you see. It's also quite heavy, but not to the point of being uncomfortable. The camera uses the SD card, which is the de-facto standard for most cameras, which is pleasing, seeing as most D-SLRs used to use CF cards. The supplied battery is a Nikon proprietary standard, but lasts for quite a while (I...

LET?S GET DIGITAL!

Advantages: image quality, ease of use, lightweight, good battery life
Disadvantages: opening battery compartment loses images, slow RAW conversion, image magnification at one level only

...The Canon EOS D60 has been around for about two years now and was an improvement on an earlier model. I?ve owned it now for about a year and during that time myself and my family have had much usage and enjoyment from the camera. Having owned the camera for some time now I feel I am able to comment on all aspects of the camera and hopefully identify any disadvantages especially having a husband who works with cameras and therefore knows a lot about them. Canon are one of the leading manufacturers of relatively low-cost digital cameras with new models being brought out every year each with a new array of features, although there are numerous alternatives to this camera and it won?t suit every user I have found it to be extremely good in the time that I have used it. >>>DESIGN<<< The camera has a metal chassis with a black plastic...

Review of Canon EOS D60

Don't accept anything less

Advantages: Intuitive digital SLR with great results
Disadvantages: Superceded by the Canon EOS 10D

...Firstly a caveat. I love this camera. But if you are buying a digital SLR soon don't buy!! That's 'cos Canon have released the EOS 10D which has better specifications and is £500 cheaper! (Canon D60 had a recommended price of £1999, the EOS 10D should come in at £1499) - though you'll probably be able to get it at £1199 by shopping around on the internet) I took a long time researching which digital SLR to buy. Much of my information came from www.dpreview.com which has a fantastically detailed review of the Canon D60 covering every single aspect of the camera. The website has great reviews of most digital cameras and has user forums also - very useful for deciding between cameras. www.imaging-resource.com also has a very detailed review. I wish to limit my opinion on this camera to my experience of it as technical reviews are much...

Review of Canon EOS D60

Outstanding images, poor flash exposure.

Advantages: high resolution, SLR, full lens range available
Disadvantages: flash exposure, cost

...I already own a EOS 5 with some lenses and flashes, but haven't used it since getting my Casio QV3000 digital camera, approximately three years ago. I missed the capabilities of a SLR system, but the quality of images from the Casio, and the convenience of digital output meant that film was dead for me. I waited with anticipation for an affordable Canon SLR, which would have been the D30, however there was no improvement in resolution over the Casio, so I decided to wait for the next generation from Canon which was the D60. I read every review on the D60 and waited about 9 months after the launch before finally deciding to go for it. My first impressions of the camera weren't very good. since it's mid winter, the first pictures were by flash and the camera suffers from extremely poor exposure control when using flash. A frantic...

Review of Nikon D60

dont bother

Advantages: They work
Disadvantages: theres alot better out there for the cash

...Having used the D60 for many months, I cannot truly say that its crap, however for the amount of cash, I really recommend looking at different models. It is now discontinued and there is good reason for it. File sizes are more than adequate however auto white balance settings are a bit dodgy and trying to get it to focus in low lighting conditions is a nightmare. The film speed setting is also quite disappointing, even though it goes up to 1000 asa it really shouldnt be pushed further than 400 as the results are diabolical, The D60 is now very cheap but I wouldnt recommend one unless you are using controlled studio lighting constantly, Try out the 20D that has just been released and I think you will see the benefit of spending that little extra cash, for similar file sizes but with so much more technology, i have found...
