  - Great CameraCamera was semi-new in box as stated. It had all the accessories with the box, except the USB cord. It was in mint condition. Excellent purchase! Rating:  - Buy it, use it and move on upI have had the D60 for appx. 2 years now. Though I had used a 35 for many years, when the digital cameras first came out I knew that was the direction I wanted to go. I started with many point and shoot cameras and still have a small Nikon S4. But as a person matures as a photog, a longing for more advanced cameras and gear rears its ugly head. So I got the D60 because it is a relatively inexpensive Nikon DSLR. The main features that you should consider about the D60 is that it is a DX camera, meaning that the sensor that records the shot is smaller then a FX or full frame sensor (FX is the same size as a 35mm film camera). Why is it important to know this? By buying a DX camera you are committing yourself to investing in DX lenses. And you will want more lenses ;-) As of today, I have the kit 18-55mm, a 55-200mm (both are Nikons) and a Tamron 70-300 with Macro. I have also made my own pin hole lens that fits on the D60. If you become an avid photog, you will end up with more money invested in lenses then in camera bodies. What else to consider? Well, the D60 can take you from being a snapshooter to a seasoned amature photog. When you first get the camera, set it up on jpg format and AUTO. By using jpg you save space on your SD card so that you can take more shots and by using AUTO, the camera is as easy using a point and shoot camera. Have fun, work on your composition and lighting skills. And then move on up to shooting in RAW which saves the shot that the camera actually records without comprising the shot. By using RAW you will have more advantages of how you process the final pic. Also you will want to use other settings then AUTO as you learn about your camera and your new craft. The Manual setting is where you will probably want to end up most of the time for the simple reason that it gives you more options of how your D60 records that image. You will eventually stop taking pictures and start making pictures. And that is probably is the strongest reason for buying the D60, it will help you grow as a photographer. My major caveat about buying this camera is that if you do use it and do grow into a budding advanced shooter, you will start looking at bigger and lot more expensive gear. So you have a choice, buy the D60 and expect to be wanting something newer and better in a couple of years, or tuck your tail and run away as fast as you can. After all, that little $100 point and shoot camera will work for ya, won't it? And it will save you mucho dinero and you will probably not get the "I gotta get a new lens" disease :D Rating: - Awesome CameraThis was a present for my husband so he could take more professional pictures of his pottery. We have an 9 month old so naturally it's mostly used for her! It takes wonderful pictures and quickly so you can capture every adorable moment. I feel like a professional and I have no photography experience whatsoever. We are very happy with the product. Rating:  - Gouge$This price is ridiculous ya the camera is pretty nice but do NOT pay this kind of price. This pissed me off that Amazon allows this kind of price gouging, might not be from them directly but DO NOT buy this here. Go to Adorama, B&H Photo to find out what this is selling for. Sorry I know this should be about the camera but what is the sense in rating a camera that you are paying hundreds and hundreds too much for. Don't pay this much it ludicrous and shame on Amazon for this. Rating: - Good CameraIt takes great pictures, I suggest if your a novice photographer, take a class. There so many settings I have not used them all. it does not have the geo tagging which i would like but its nice camera. Buy the body only, Spend money on the Lenses. |
