The editors didn't like
Awkward handling
Not much here unless youre a beginner
Not a revolutionary step on from the D40x
You have to spend extra to get image stabilisation
Only three autofocus points
Manual mode difficult to use
Too Small for larger hands
Inefficient antidust system
Limited compatibility with new AFS lenses (internal motorization)
No direct aiming with LCD screen

The 2.5-inch display is handy for changing settings quickly but you can’t frame with it – the D60 doesn’t have Live View. It’s missing hand-holding features like Face Detection
Smile Shutter and a movie mode
As well as shutterbug...
No image stabiliser or Live View
Build quality could be better
Too small
Pricey for what it offers
Lens-based image stabilisation is less flexible than sensor-shift offered by some competitors
Abstract: Last August I requested to see this DSLR unit from Nikon and a series of miss communications means it finally arrived with me recently, was it worth the wait, it sure was! I always enjoy being stretched when I review a DSLR....
Abstract: The Nikon D60 is a perfect choice for newcomers to digital SLRs. Alternatively, as it offers excellent image quality, familiar Nikon menu systems and good scope for manual controls at a budget price, it would also be a favourable, lightweight back-up ...

The D60 risks being not quite friendly enough for beginners and not quite techy enough for advanced users, but if you just want a simple, easy to use SLR that shoots gorgeous, high resolution images, it fits the bill. The Sony A200 is well worth a look...
Abstract: When we first reviewed Nikons D60 in Whats New, Shopper 244, we found plenty to like, but at £443 the price was too high in the face of stiff competition. Luckily, Nikon has lopped off almost £100. Unfortunately, the competition is also cheaper a...
Abstract: I find that I cant help but love the Nikon DSLR range - they make it fairly impossible to take a bad photo, even for a decidedly non-expert photographer like myself. Dans taken quite a shine to the D60, which totes 10.2 megapixels, a 2.5-inch screen ...
Abstract: The Nikon D60 aims to hook point-and-shoot photography enthusiasts crossing over to the digital SLR dimension. The next step up from the Nikon D40x, this model adds advanced in-camera editing, including Nikon’s D-Lighting technology and an in-camera st...
Abstract: The 10-megapixel D60 is Nikons newest addition to its consumer DSLRs and replaces the D40x. Although it shares a 10.2-megapixel resolution CCD and has a similar body design to its predecessor, the new model brings with it several major improvements, a...
Compact, lightweight, easy to use, solid build, sharp images, built-in dust prevention, RAW and JPEG capture, 500-image battery life
Not a revolutionary step on from the D40x, you have to spend extra to get image stabilisation
The D60 is fast in operation – ready for the first shot in the time it takes your finger to reach for the shutter button. Allowing users to just point and shoot or access more complex manual controls within the one device means it represents good va...
