Compare Prices : Nikon D60 - Expert Reviews

Review summary: This 10 megapixel camera is Nikon's cheapest DSLR. As tested it came with the 18-55mm kit lens with vibration reduction. The combination is small and light with good ergonomics. It has two dust removal functions - the traditional filter shake plus the ...

Pros: 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 ...

Cons: 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 ...

Review summary: More digital camera in one package than ever

Verdict: More digital camera in one package than ever

Award: Best Buy!

Cons: Some minor chromatic aberration issues, no live view

Verdict: Nikon's 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.
