Nikon D60 Review


Summary: Nikon¿s entry-level D40x has been reborn as the D60, which boasts a 10-megapixel maximum resolution and a dust-prevention system. This feature was sorely missing on the otherwise excellent D40x and now brings Nikon into line with competitors. Read the full review
Pros: ; Compact, lightweight, easy to use, solid build, sharp images, built-in dust prevention, RAW and JPEG capture, 500-image battery life
Cons: ; Not a revolutionary step on from the D40x, you have to spend extra to get image stabilisation

Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: Nikon are in a position where they have an almost biblical status with a group of followers that are so loyal, it borders on fanaticism. Nikon could, in fact, sit back on their laurels, soaking up the limelight and spit out camera after uninspiring camera. Luckily, they don't. They carry on bringing out new cameras with innovative ideas
Pros: ; ¤ Excellent Noise results¤ Rangefinder brings fun to manual mode¤ Attractive screen graphics¤ Active D-Lighting from the D300¤ EXPEED processor, also from the D300¤ In Camera RAW converter
Cons: ; ¤ Review stays on too long¤ Only three focus points

Nikon D60


Summary: The D60 isn¿t so different from the D40x. The main changes are the anti-dust system, the new Nikkor 18-55mm VR kit lens and eye-sensor. The pictures are great, and the picture modes and retouching are impressive. The handling remains a sore point. Read the full review

Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: While the D60 isn¿t a dramatic upgrade over the D40x, it¿s still a good choice for an entry-level dSLR. It offers standout features, but still no live preview on the LCD, so be prepared to shoot everything using the optical viewfinder.
Pros: ; Small yet sturdy camera body; 3x zoom lens with image stabilization; dust reduction system; fast response times; D-Lighting technology; motion sensor for reorienting shooting display; excellent help system; stop-motion feature
Cons: ; No on-screen live preview; somewhat limited lens selection; no top-mounted status LCD; inconsistent performance at high ISO speeds; default settings yield oversaturated colors
