Buying Nikon D60 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens


I've been an owner for over a year and it remains a popular choice among prosumers. I'm not going to go into the the features or comparisons to great extent but I at least wanted to give an idea of how the Nikon D60 has served me.

This camera is for entry-level photographers that need more than a point-and-shoot.

In short, I love the D60 and I'm glad I bought it. It produces incredible RAW images that I can tweak with Photoshop. It's a full-fledged DSLR and not one of those in-between types. I've taken countless photos of family and friends and it hasn't failed me yet. I have several different lenses for it and it works with most of the older lenses (however not all auto-focus).

My level of expertise at this point on photography is modest and I didn't find it too difficult to get started. I do recommend several books if you are just starting out:

David Busch's Nikon D60 Guide to Digital SLR Photography - This is the manual that should come with D60's.

The Digital Photography Book - Scott Kelby

The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2
