    This camera has many of the qualities we expect from Nikon – responsiveness, excellent ergonomics and consistent image processing – in a lightweight body. On its own terms it is a fine camera and no doubt will retail for considerably less than its RRP. For anyone who is content with the kit and has no aspirations to own better lenses and couldn’t care less about exposure bracketing – in other words wants the simplest DSLR – then the D60 is a winner.

    one of the smallest Nikon digital SLRs ever'. Released less than a year after the slightly lighter D40, it's identical in size and also the same size and weight as D40x that followed. It also has the same 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor and a very similar feature set to the D40x. The review camera was supplied with the new AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens, which will be bundled with the camera body and sports a built-in Silent Wave Motor and Vibration Reduction.

    A good camera but not the most inspiring. There’s better value elsewhere. Read more

    Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikon's D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models. Read more

    I am a huge fan of my Nikon D60. This is a great camera for anyone who is wanting to make some beautiful pictures and create some wonderful memories. Its fast, allowing you to catch your kids doing what they love, and light enough to carry it with you on photowalks. There are numerous lenses available, heaps of Nikon support and a thorough manual to guide you. Read more
