Compare Prices : Nikon D60 - Expert Reviews

Review summary: The Nikon D60 isn't the company's least expensive SLR (that honor belongs to the aging 6-megapixel D40), but this is the model that's meant to compete most aggressively in the current entry-level SLR wars. It boasts perfectly respectable stats, ...

Verdict: The D60 looks much like every other Nikon SLR. It's made of black, matte plastic, with Nikon's trademark red triangle on the grip as the only significant visual flair. Said grip is slightly on the small side, and may be a bit cramped for those who ...

Review summary: Canon has Maria Sharapova. Nikon has the Nikon Kid. He's that twenty-something guy who needs a shave and beams after every shot he takes with a Nikon D60. Is the message here you can take great pictures with a digital SLR even if you don't know how to ...

Review summary: The Nikon D60 is said to be the smallest DSLR camera from Nikon. It has the capability to shoot 3 frames per second. It has 10.2 Megapixel format and has 18-55mm Lenses available. It has a quick start-up feature as well as active dust removal. It also ...

Pros: Nikon starts as its means to go on. Despite being towards the more recession-friendly end of the digital SLR spectrum, the D60 produces deliciously sharp detail and mouth-watering colours. Its 10MP images really are as good as any you'll get on a sub- ...

Cons: 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 must-haves like 9 ...

Review summary: A sterling budget DSLR with a great range of controls and superb high ISO performance

Verdict: The D60's body is identical to the D40x's, with the familiar, simplified controls – everything is easily accessed, albeit with maybe one more button press than on the best from Olympus and Samsung
