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
No wireless flash control
No software for RAW file processing
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: All the controls and ease of shooting functions are well thought out, although reading the 180-page (plus index and specs) instruction book is wise, as there are many hidden pathways to some really nice features. I would suggest carrying the instructi...

Brightest, sharpest LCD in category. Stop motion movies. Active DLightingfixes shots during processing. Incamera RAW conversion. Fast startup to shoot.
Compact styling means the controls are a bit cramped for big hands. Only threepoint autofocus system. Manual shooting a bit ungainly. Just three framespersecond in continuous shooting mode.Camera Resolution: 10.2 megapixels, with a 1855mm f3.55.6 VR lens...
Smallest Nikon SLR (tied with D40, D40x), great for travel and all-day carry, Quiet shutter and AF operation: a very "polite" camera, New kit lens has good optical quality, better than average for kit lenses, New kit lens offers VR (image sta...
Only 3 AF regions, Auto white balance setting doesnt handle household incandescent lighting well, No auto exposure bracketing, No Live View mode, Wed like to see more gradations in color saturation adjustment, Chromatic aberration somewhat high at wi...
With the D60, Nikon continues whats been an exceptionally successful line of cameras reaching back to the D40 (which is still widely available in the market as of this writing (June, 2008) at very low prices). As a follow-on to the D40x, the Nikon D60...

Abstract: The Nikon D60 sits in an odd niche in the market. Its not the least expensive well appointed digital SLR you can buy, and for just a few dollars more you can buy a substantially superior camera. The VR lens is a big step up from previous inexpensive ...
Photos have accurate exposure, low noise levels, and minimal purple fringing, Solid construction; feels better in the hand than the competition, Dust reduction system, Large, bright, and sharp 2.5" LCD; shooting data well presented on the main LCD...
Images are oversaturated, and on the soft side, Limited selection of AFS lenses means that many Nikkor lenses (mostly primes) will not support autofocus, Missing some features offered by competitive cameras: bracketing, DOF preview, live view, more tha...
The Nikon D60 is an entry-level digital SLR aimed squarely at consumers. It has a friendly interface with numerous help screens, in-camera photo editing, and very vivid color that borders on unrealistic. You also get a dust reduction system, snappy per...
