+ design and easy to use

- no body motor for AF Lens

+ Really easy to shoot cracking pics. A first time user can happily shoot away in auto mode, or someone more experienced can set their own shutter speeds and aperture to get the shots they want.

- Could do with an LCD display at the top, but this does come on the slightly higher spec D90, so for the price, this is a really good pic.

+ affordable, easy to use

+ All round great camera...I'm just starting out with a DSLR but this is perfect

- Not found any yet!!

+ A great camera for an introduction to DSLR - the Auto modes allow a 'point n' shoot' type camera, but in manual mode the full range of SLR photography can be used. Nikon build quality is superb and the instruction manual comprehensive.

+ Very easy to use for first time D-SLR budding photographers, with built in context-sensitive help button that shows a quick guide to the selected feature. Great to quickly get up to speed with the camera. Excellent sports mode burst shots from a recent rugby match. Superb motion image and focussing quality.

- None so far!

+ My first DSLR camera purchaced and ready to use within 1 hour. Easy to follow instructions and very user friendly for the beginner. Not to big, so easy to transport around.

+ Good entry level DSLR

A PAPER MANUAL!!!

Now want to build up my lens collection - an expensive hobby!

+ Great looks, great feel and excellent image quality.

- None so far.

+ Very intuitive, you don't need to spend few years learning how to operate SLR, just one online doc can kickstart.

- bit bigger then point and shoot, but I won't say it is a bad point as u know this when u buy SLR, still couldn't find any yet.

+ Image is great and build is very good too. Great intermediate buy if you don't want to spend a grand.

- Some features not readily available on menu, but not a big deal

+ It tells you on the screen everything you need to know about the functions.

- The body looks as though its covered in spots of oil???

+ Easy to use and excelent image quality.

- none

+ Very easy to use and set up. Very ergonomically designed. Image quality is very good, and the flash does not wash out subjects at close range.

- None really, although the camera does not feature live view. At the time of purchase I decided against live view.

+ Incredibly easy to use and good online tutorials as well.

- non so far

- no video!

+ easy to use in all things

- none

+ This was my first foray into the (slightly intimidating) world of DSLR's. I didn't want anything too complicated, but, then again, I didn't want something I would quickly outgrow. I have to say that this fits the bill nicely! It's a great combination of ease of use, features and price. I'm very happy with it.

+ Easy to use, fantastic quality.

- Haven;t found any yet.

+ excellent entry-level DSLR camera and lens.

- none

+ very easy to use for a beginner, plus excellent features

- cant think of any at this time!

+ it's got the same basic controls as other (cheaper) SLR's so it's easy to get going. The image quality looks excellent.

- None really. It'd be nice if the interactive feed back, when you go off automatic, gave more consequencial information, or feedback, on the effects of your choice will be. But, the better answer is probably for the user to learn more about photography.

+ Its a upgrade for me, I am still learning the finer points, I have taken some real nice photo's with it in Auto mode, going through the other modes slowly . Good buy value for money.

- Flash not that good, need a external one to give enough light for indoor shots, My shots taken in a marque on a sunny day, came out dark, on auto mode

+ Great build quality
Long battery life

- Can't shoot telephoto shots with the lens included

+ Its such an easy camera to use and the picture quality is fantastic

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Its very strong in build. It dont take long to work out all the features and it really does take great quality pictures that you can blow up to A4 and lose no quality. Its perfect for the first timer and intermediate. You can let the Camera do the work for you as in setting up the shoot or you can play around with the manual settings and make brilliant pics.

- Not really any, but at the time of writing this the D300 and D80 can be brought at this price if you look around

+ Excellent variety of modes, screen on the back of the camera shows what it is doing if you are interested in going further. Ideal starter Digital SLR camera.

+ Upon recommendation I purchased the Nikon D60 and have had no regrets. As an amatuer photographer the camera is extremely user friendly. However my use of it was much enhanced through undetaking a beginners photgraphy course in order to produce the desired visual imagery and to gain confidence in taking pictures.

- Although the camera is user-friendly, it is useful to undertake a basic course in order to get the full use out of the camera. Some aspects of the instructions were not as self-explanatory as I would have liked.

+ It takes great pictures, and once you've got to grips with all the settings its pretty easy to use!

- I can't think of any!

+ Excellent picture quality. It's a good quality camera for the stage that i am at with photography, just entering DSLR. I would say it was a decent camera for more serious photographers too as it has a wide selection of programs and you can also set it manually (i haven't got that far yet)
I'm really pleased with it and i am very glad i didn't purchase the bridge camera that i originally selected.

- I dont have any bad points yet about the camera. My inexperience is more the problem. I'm not too good with computers so i am a bit wary of all the different menus and programs on the camera at present, in case i get stuck in one and can't get out of it. I find the lens changing a bit frustrating and fiddley, but thats just me, i recognise it comes with the territory and i will get used to it.
I do wish though that it had been supplied with a camera bag as i haven't managed to find a suitable one yet.
