Good Starter D-SLR

This was my first digital SLR camera. It's easy to use and understand, would highly recommend it for beginners. It's also good for those who are interesting in photography as a fine art, but not expecting to go pro. It worth the cost and can be expanded with alot of available lenses. I was once told that "it's not the camera that makes a good photo but the person holding it".

Love This Camera

My daughter and I purchased this camera together and we love it. We took it on vacation the week after we received it and the pictures turned out fabulous. Neither one of us have either had a camera that would take a decent photo at night, but this one is the exception. The photos at night were just perfect. We only used the camera on auto because we didn't know how to use all the settings yet, but the photos turned out amazing. If you're looking to purchase your first SLR digital camera, both of us highly recommend the Nikon D60!

VERY PLEASED with this compact DSLR

I began my excursion into the DSLR world with the Olympus 4/3 system, which is a fantastic system, period. What lured me away from Olympus to the Nikon DX DSLR system was the simultaneous introduction earlier this year of the now widely acclaimed 16-85mm VR zoom lens and the D60 DSLR, which has a built-in dust reduction system. IMO, the IQ of the D60, when used in RAW capture mode with the 16-85mm zoom lens, is a notch above that of the Olympus E-410 (equipped with the ZD 14-54mm zoom lens), which I owned for several months (and before that the E-1 and E-330). The D60 wins hands-down in the noise department, even at low ISO settings, and beats the pants off the E-410 at higher ISOs. The same is true for dynamic range. It's not that the E-410 has poor dynamic range, becuase it doesn't. Rather, the D60 has such unbelievable dynamic range that, compared side-by-side, it makes the dynamic range of the E-410 look weak by comparison.

Bottom line: With the exception of a few missing features noted below, the D60 has nearly everything I could ask for in a compact DSLR and is nearly perfect when combined with the spectacular 16-85mm VR zoom lens.

Features missing or lacking in the D60, include:

* no exposure or white balance bracketing

* only 3 focus points (not really a problem for me personally)

* no live view feature (I bet this feature will be included in the D60 upgrade)

* menu navigation system is much clunkier than the one used by Olympus consumer DSLRs

Regarding the 18-55mm VR D60 kit lens, it's actually quite decent. Stopped down a bit, it may be close in IQ to the 16-85mm VR lens. If cost is factor, the quality of the 18-55mm VR lens makes the D60 kit a fantastic deal.

Great camera!

I have got this package from Amazon about 3 weeks ago and it is amazing! The shipping is really fast and the camera takes beautiful pictures. I like the VR lens and I can take very clear still pictures of a show when the light is very dim even without flash. I used this camera to catch hummingbird's moves and I can even see the eyes of the hummingbird in the picture even when I used medium size and normal resolution setting. The only thing about the 18-55mm lens is that it's zoom is less powerful than I expected. I think I will buy a 55-200mm lens to take outdoor pictures. But if you mostly take indoor or party pictures, it should be fine. But I want a longer lens to use for wildlife pictures.
