... I had mixed feelings about the D60's photo quality, and I think a lot of people will disagree with me here. I think that the photos produced by the camera are too soft, and way oversaturated. Colors are so vivid that they almost appear cartoonish, in my opinion. ..."

The Nikon D60 is without doubt the best Family DSLR available. Not only is it affordable, but it produces excellent image quality with point-and-shoot ease. Though many other entry-level DSLRs have similar features, it is the combination of the features and the friendly way they are implemented that earns the D60 the Photoxels Editor's Choice 2008 - Family DSLR award. ..."

... No matter how you look at it, the Nikon D60 stands up well against the competition, with great image quality at all speeds, and near-perfect utility as a family camera. Its very fun to use (your kids will have a blast with its stop-action animation feature), polite, attractive, and well-built; just the kind of companion you want to have along on your next family outing. ..."

... The image quality of the Nikon D60 is superb, not needing any comments. The concept was already successful and has been enhanced with various nice options and functions. The integration of an anti-dust system is one of these enrichments and prevents dust particles to get onto the picture. The camera performs excellently on all fronts. Still I am not convinced Nikon showed the ultimate entry-level DSLR with the D60. I can picture sufficient possibilities to enhance the functionality of this concept; such as more intelligent software, Live View, a larger size LCD monitor and more. ..."

... Ultimately the new Nikon D60 remains an intuitive camera that clearly meets the main needs of its target audience, while still retaining enough complexity to allow your photography to grow and improve in the future. Nikon D40x owners won't be rushing out to upgrade, but the D60 is a compelling option for users of compact digital cameras looking to upgrade to a DSLR. ..."

... I can't say this is my favorite of Nikon's cameras, the auto focus in particular is lackluster, and there are a few niggles, such as the odd patch of underexposure. Overall though it's a good entry level model, which is easy and straightforward to use, with plenty more features under the hood to progress and improve your photography. ..."

The D60 takes the successful formula established in the D40 / D40X and, well, if we're being honest, doesn't do a great deal with it at all - the leap from D40 to D40X was a lot greater than the step up from D40X to D60 (even if Nikon's naming convention might seem to imply the opposite). There's a few nice new features, and bundling the new 'VR' (stabilized) version of the kit lens is a smart move that makes the whole package a lot more appealing, but it's fair to say that the D60 is a subtle upgrade rather than a whole scale reinvention of Nikon's entry-level best-seller...."

... Those looking to make a first class entry level DSLR purchase need only know that the Nikon D60 is an excellent choice - it's small, light, affordable, easy to use and has enough solid and fun features to get any enthusiast going. ..."

... Imaging performance shines when it comes to noise, and the responsiveness while shooting is exceptional for a camera in this class. However, the D60 also lagged in several equally important areas, including white balance and dynamic range. As for the strikingly small size, that's a win for some users, a loss for others."

... The new Nikon D60 is quite impressive for an entry-level dSLR, offering superb performance, great image quality, and multiple exposure options. The 3fps continuous drive mode (or 3.5fps in our testing), Sensor Cleaning system and onboard HELP Menu are distinct improvements for this soon to be popular camera. ..."
