Customer Review: Nikon D60
Just what I needed.
Great digital SLR for the advanced beginner.
I am still learning to use it!!
Customer Review: Love it, more than I will ever need!
I purchased this camera for my wife. The digital we had had a long shutter delay which resulted in lots of missed shots of my kids. The delay on this camera is much more acceptable, and some of the settings on the camera should help even more, once I figure them out! This camera has more features than I will ever use.

I looked at the D80 as well, but it was larger than the D60. Also, the D80 is more “button interactive” then menu driven like the D60, and I did not like that. If in the future I want to take advantage of the features offered, I can use them through menu options, but until that day arrives, I like the simpler mechanical interaction with the D60, and the smaller size.

I plugged in the camera to my iMac and iphoto recognized the camera and downloded right away, no added software needed, just like it should work.

I bought this camera with 2 VR lenses. It seemed logical to get the 55-200mm lense with th VR as that will have more tendency to blur than the 18-55 lense.
