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
Where the D40x was essentially a 10 megapixel version of the 6 megapixel D40, the new D60 is a very slightly improved version of the D40x. The D60 retains the same core competencies - 10 megapixels, 3 point AF, 3D Colour Matrix Metering II, 3fps burst...
Small, light and well-built, Very easy to use with helpful menus, Virtually fool-proof metering, Excellent DX 18-55mm VR kit lens option.
No auto-focus with certain lenses, Some settings require too many button presses, Anti-dust system not infallible, Basic 3-point AF and no DOF preview.
The earlier Nikon D40x was an interesting proposition as it was essentially a D40 fitted with a 10 Megapixel sensor to better compete against Canon’s EOS 400D / XTi. Unfortunately, the D40x inherited several weaker aspects of the D40 which may have...
Abstract: Following on from Nikon's professional models at the end of last year, February saw the arrival of a new entry-level model in the form of the Nikon D60. The 16th DSLR to come from Nikon, the D60 is pitched at newcomers to digital SLRs and sits in the Niko...
Compact size, Low ISO image quality, VR lens kit, Excellent features, Ease of use, Ergonomics
Noise at higher sensitivities, Small viewfinder, Slow processing multiple images and RAWs
The D60 is easy to use and capable of producing excellent results at lower ISO settings and it is a worthy successor to the D40x; certainly worth a look for anyone wanting to get that bit more from their photography in a compact, responsive package. ...
Abstract: The Nikon D60 in fact does not surprise us. It just comes down to Nikon having kept the successful concept of the D40 / D40x and where possible improved it or added the latest innovations. And that concept consists of a solid base proven by the popular...
Abstract: The Nikon D60 was announced on Monday, January 28th, 2008. The D60 is a replacement for the almost identical D40x. The D60 is a 10 MP DSLR that comes with an excellent 18-55mm VR lens for $750. I had my hands on a D60 today, January 30th, 2008. The D6...
Hannah ThiemFor a few fancy new features, the D60 is an improvement from the D40x. The street price is slightly more than the D40x was when released ($582; compared to the D40x at $549). Overall, the performance and quality is good and it’s a great...
Lightweight D-SLR offering, Good pricing for the performance and quality ($750USD), Fast shooting performance (3FPS burst), Feature-packed, high ISO settings, Kit lens includes Vibration Reduction, Works well in low-light situations, Uses ultra-affordable...
No second dial to make setting changes easier, No USB Mass Storage mode, No RAW+JPEG Fine setting, No live view mode, despite being a popular feature, VR not built into body, No button for simple ISO changing
When I first saw the press release for the D60, I wasnt sure what to think. Its specs come so close to the D40x, that it was just made so confusing. But after taking a look around, it seems that the D40x is harder than ever to find in stock at popular...
Small, fast and quite versatile, Often provides gorgeous JPEGs at default settings, Very easy to use in most respects,
Requires AFS lenses for autofocus; only three AF points, Omits Live View and depthoffield preview, Kit lens is a bit pricey (but includes a VR stabilizer)
Abstract: A little too much of a D40x clone, released last fall When I first opened up the box with the Nikon D60 ($599.95 for body only, $749.95 with 18-55mm lens), I thought there might have been a mistake of some kind. Having reviewed the D40x (D40x $629.95 ...
