Nikon D60 - A Nikon Digital SLR Camera With Quality Optics

Executive summary about Nikon Digital SLR by Chris Campbell

nikon D60 digital slr

For six years, I’ve been loyal to using my Canon PowerShot point-and-shoot compact digital camera because it’s small, lightweight, and very portable. I’ve taken thousands of great shots with my PowerShot as I’ve taken it with me on my travels and practically everywhere I went. However, I think I’ve reached the point where I want to take my love for photography and taking pictures by getting a digital SLR camera. So I started reading and going through tons of user reviews for digital SLR cameras, and I’ve narrowed my choices down to Sony A300 and the Nikon D60. The Nikon Digital SLR camera felt more lightweight than the Sony A300 and the LCD menu or user interface was more user-friendly and intuitive.

I got my D60 from Amazon because of their 30-day price match policy. This means that if the price of your camera lowers within 30 days upon purchase, you can email Amazon and they will credit you with the price difference. In my case, the D60’s going price went down thrice after I bought it, and Amazon quickly gave me a refund for the three times the price decreased.

The kit lens with vibration reduction or VR balances well with the body of camera so the weight of the lens doesn’t cause the camera to point down. With 10.2 megapixel capacity and a bundled 18-55mm AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens, the D60 is able to come out with great, high-quality shots. The quality of the pictures I get is far superior than those I used to get with my compact digital camera.
