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
Bundled with new VR lens. Fast operation. Good overall image quality, especially for the price. Great body.
Severe diffraction in some cases. Narrow ISO range.
The Nikon D60 offers a 10-megapixel APS-H sensor and an optically stabilized lens, all for an excellent, entry-level price. As always, Nikon has designed the D60s body within an inch of perfection, and the camera has all the prosumer features that ...

For more than a decade, point-and-shoot digicams dominated the digital imaging revolution, but in recent years entry-level digital SLRs have become one of the most popular products available in the digital camera marketplace. Canon got the jump on Nik...
Abstract: A 10.2 megapixel CCD imaging sensor has been combined with Nikon’s exclusive EXPEED process that automatically optimizes your pictures, enhancing fine detail and providing smooth tonal reproduction. Active D-Lighting automatically compensates highli...
Easy to use, nice interface, good images, small, noise control
Some blooming, AF system, too simple at times, small LCD
The D60 is a bit of a mixed bag, with plenty to recommend it such as the dust reduction, and legacy technology from the D3 and D300. However, it also suffers from an older and cheaper AF system and a smallish LCD screen. But on the most important crit...

Optically stabilized kit lens; convenient onscreen user interface; compatible with a wide variety of lenses and accessories.
Pricey for what it offers; lens-based image stabilization is less flexible than sensor-shift offered by some competitors.
Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikons D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models.
Good resolution and detail (especially at lower ISO settings), Good dynamic range (better than D40 and slightly better than D40X), Surprisingly good build quality, tight shut lines, New Dust removal system and very useful manual focus rangefinder, Very co...
No lens motor in body means non-AF-S/AF-I lenses are manual focus only, Disappointingly RAW+JPEG setting only records Basic quality JPEGs, Default settings a little on the soft side at a pixel level, High ISO performance good, but not as good as best in c...
The D60 takes the successful formula established in the D40 / D40X and, well, if were being honest, doesnt do a great deal with it at all - the leap from D40 to D40X was a lot greater than the step up from D40X to D60 (even if Nikons naming convent...
