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: Nikons D60 is aimed more at the enthusiast market. Its the oldest of the group but that means the price has dropped to starter level. Its not as quick to get to grips with as the other cameras but the lens is the sharpest and the controls and featu...
Abstract: Not only does Nikon’s smallest DSLR camera make it easy for users to take photos, it also comes with a suite of features for aspiring photographers who want to deepen their interest in creative shooting. So is this camera worth a thousand words? Cli...
This is a responsive camera that is a pleasure to use. The lens, which feels flimsy, is in fact a very good kit lens. Images are sharp and contrast is good. The image stabilisation is effective. Image quality straight from the camera is consistently go...
As with the D40/D40X, Nikon has chosen not to install a focus drive in the camera body. This means that the range of auto-focus lenses available for the camera is very limited. There is no Nikkor auto-focus prime lens that will work with the D60. And a...
This camera has many of the qualities we expect from Nikon – responsiveness, excellent ergonomics and consistent image processing – in a lightweight body. On its own terms it is a fine camera and no doubt will retail for considerably less than...
Sharp pictures, great colour, Active D-Lighting, dust reduction, low price, comfortable to hold
Some minor chromatic aberration issues, no live view The Final Word Nikons D60 is a fantastic entry-level SLR that takes brilliant pictures and offers a robust feature set. It is ideal for users looking to take the plunge into more creative photography.
Nikons D60 is a fantastic entry-level SLR that takes brilliant pictures and offers a robust feature set. It is ideal for users looking to take the plunge into more creative photography.
Abstract: Nikon is touting its D60 model as one of the smallest Nikon digital SLRs ever. Released less than a year after the slightly lighter D40, its identical in size and also the same size and weight as D40x that followed. It also has the same 10.2-megapix...
Light and compact design, Fast UI and overall performance, A good amount of new-age features, Great image quality, Accurate color reproduction
Misses the minute details, No Live-View as in newer D-SLRs
The Nikon D40 is a perennial favorite with students and entry-level consumers who want a D-SLR. The value pricing, compact design, and a good mix of features make it a hot seller even today. The D40x had some improvements, but apart from the megapixel ...

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.
Abstract: THE 10.2-megapixel D60 is the latest of Nikons junior DSLR series. It has no built-in focus drive motor which will probably not make a difference to a beginner.However, the lack of a focus drive motor may grate on you when you start building your lens...
