Nikon D60 Reviews: Digital SLR Camera

+ I found this camera easy to use, I barely had to look in the manual. I was choosing between this camera and the Sony A200 and found the Sony too bulky where as the Nikon is alot more easy to grip. Overall I am happy I got the Nikon D60 and not the Sony.

+ It takes great pictures easily, it's light and handles well. All the controls are easy to use - you do have to spend a little time with the instructions, though! I recommend doing so and setting up the camera the way you like it. I am pretty much a novice when it comes to digital SLRs so if I can do it, anyone can! The whole package is excellent - if you have kids (as I do) a decent camera is a must and this camera fits the bill superbly.

- The built in flash can be a bit harsh - but that's just built in flashes for you. The camera definitely benefits from a dedicated flash - I bought the Nikon SB-600 Speedlight to go with the camera and it's fantastic, I'd highly recommend it (and it's coming down in price as Nikon have just released a brand new top range flash, so good value for money).

+ The body is fine, and has all the features you could really want.

- The lenses supplied weren't the VR ones I had thought I was getting, and aren't really as good - the optics themselves are good, it's just the image-stabilising software (at least I assume it's software) that is not there. And that's a real bonus, or would have been.

+ ease of handling, feels comfortable.
easy to use straight away

- no bad points

+ easy to use, large screen, speed of processing

- body too light for stability

+ pictures are clear and sharp, and there are plenty of settings for each type of shot.

- The included zoom lens, for me, doesn't zoom as far as I would like, which means eventually I will have to buy another lens.

+ Extremly good camera for the money.

- No real bad points.

+ lcd screen
auto programmes
lens
versatility
menus

- complex instruction manual

+ excellent build quality and performance

- no dedicated carry case

+ Brilliant image quality

- Not all lenses are compatable due to lack of lens motor

+ Very easy to use in the automatic setting which means that you can get on and take pictures immediately.

- No memory card in the box so I needed to wait until I had time to get one. You can only frame the picture in the view finder and not the LCD screen.
