My husband bought this camera for me last Christmas as a gift and I love it! I was a little afraid of all the features at first but now (11 months later)I cannot put it down! I take it everywhere! Two months ago I bought a new lens (for distance) to use at football and soccer games...etc. Now, I love it even more! It is light-wieght for the most part; we took it on our Disney vacation (in September) and I wore it all around the parks for 7 days. It did not feel heavy at all. The D60 took pictures that were the same quality as the Photo Pass pictures offered by Disney. The shutter speed is fast-- literally click-click-click; I never miss a shot now. The battery lasts quiet a while before needing recharging. If you are considering this camera...go for it! Everyone who touches my camera wants to buy one. The only "con" I can think of is that when you take a picture you have to hold the camera to your eye and look through the "view-finder" and then pull it back to see the picture display on the LCD screen. I do not mind but a few people I know have said they don't know if they could go back to the "old way" of not being able to see the picture on LCD before taking the shot. I highly recommend this camera. If it were stolen or lost I would buy it again without hesitation.

I am using this camera for last 1 year. Got it for final price 485 camera 18 55 mm lens + 15 sandisk 4 GB card = 500. It was a great deal for me at that time. Technical things are already mentioned.just need a tripod and remote. If u r thinking for D40 or D40X ...then will suggest u to byt D60.. go for 10 MP and its continous shooting mode(its really works great for low light)
Happy as always with Amazon :-)

I really enjoy using this camera. The Active D Lighting is an awesome feature of the D60. I have just recently discovered the world of SLR's and don't have too much photography experience, but I used this camera when I traveled to Alaska and Japan and was happy with the picture quality. The camera went everywhere with me and had its fair share of bumps scrapes, so it is durable. I didn't mind carrying the D60 around because it is more compact than the D90 and full frames, but at the sacrifice of a smaller LCD screen (among other cool features).
The stock 18-55 VR Nikkor lens that comes with the camera is a decent all-around lens; very versatile for many situations. However, with many DX lenses available for the D60, you'll soon be shopping for better lenses.
Really happy with this camera, although after seeing my friend's D90, I want to upgrade soon. A great buy for a beginner to intermediate photographer.

This is a wonderful camera. I've had it for almost a year now and have used it from New Orleans to San Francisco. The stock lens is a great lens to start out with and takes wonderful pictures. Compared the the 80 or higher it has fewer options when concerning quality of the pictures taken. This is a great camera to start with and with the right lenses a great one to even build on. I highly recommend this camera to those that wish to begin photography and like to catch those moments that are often missed by digital cameras.

This is an excellent camera, all of the features described work perfectly. Some features that I particularly enjoy are the ability to create different image folders on the camera, and switch between them; the stop motion movie creator, which forms up to 100 images into a .AVI video file; and the fact that Nikon non-electronic film lenses fit on the mount and are completely usable in Manual mode. I truly love this camera, and it works great, just I would maybe consider other options as well. The D40 is the cheaper alternative, and you don't lose much by opting for it. The D90 is quite a bit more expensive, but offers HD video and live viewing. The D3000 is a slight upgrade from the D60 and a bit less expensive from what I have seen. I would consider all of these choices before purchasing. I complain a bit about size and portability, as I would not want to have this around my neck for an entire day of sightseeing, but that is what point-and-shoots are made for, ease and portability. dSLR cameras are made for being fully manipulative digital cameras that have excellent quality and have the ability to change lenses, ISO, focusing methods, aperture, white balance, and shutter speed to the user's desire.
