D60 or EOS1000 December 1, 2008
David Parkinson (Newcastle, UK)
Had a toss up recently between this and the Canon EOS1000D. Bought the D40 for my daughter and its a cracking little camera out of the box. Felt good, solid, great quality.
So in the end I plumped for the Canon, just to have a change. The second I took it out the box my mistake was evident - the difference in quality feel to even the D40 is unbelievable. Plasticy feel, cheep non tactile buttons, poor layout on the rear. I was gutted. Straight back in the box and straight back. tata.
So just got the D60 and again, out the box the quality just feels right. Solid, great feel, buttons just right. The D60 is also a slight step up in feel from the D40 with more metal parts and a great VR lens. I'm sure, in the end, there will be a gnats whisker between the actually pictures between this and the EOS 1000D, but in the end, this is the camera I'd rather have in my hand, any day.
Now, just need to learn how to use it.....
What a great piece of kit October 30, 2008

what a great piece of kit.
im 18 and ive been taking pictures for as long as i can remember (my mum and dad are both photographers), i have a nikon d3 and a d2x, but i needed something that was cheaper, that i could take to locations where the camera might encounter the odd knock! i had the nikon d40 when that first came out and thought it was a little cracker, but no longer needed it, so ebay it was for that.
but i can safely say ill be using it alot more then i thought, the VR kit lens is great (although im using the 55-200 onit atm) but for 340 (what i paid) this camera AMAZING, ive used camera more ten times that and recieved results far less satisfying,
the camera is light, and VERY well made, it feels like your harding...urm a brick?, its so sterdy and "together"
liveview?, well if you want liveview, you shouldnt be buying a DSLR, i heard in reviews that the autofocus was slow, its slower then my other cameras yeah!, but its no where near slow.
well more 340, id gladly pay alot more for it.
trust me, beginer-intermetate camera users, or pros looking for a light small simple DSLR for tough locations, BUY THIS!
Perfect for the transition from compact camera to digital SLR October 19, 2008

Have had the D60+VR lens for a couple of days now and am thoroughly impressed. I did a lot of research online before buying and finally went for a Nikon after using a friend's D300 at a wedding. The controls are intuitive, the image quality and vibration reduction features excellent. The display at the back really helps the newcomer to dSLRs understand the implications and relationships between shutter speed and aperture, white balance etc and there is a handy help function which gives basic explanations, making dSLR photography highly intuitive and the learning curve very steep but easy. I bought the camera with a Transcend 16gb class 6 card from Amazon and the write speed is more than adequate. Highly recommended.
Great entry level DSLR September 15, 2008

Recently bought this digital SLR (with the VR lens kit) and I'm very impressed so far. This is my first dSLR purchase but I don't think I was prepared for just how great the jump in quality would be from a compact.
Out of the box it's pretty much ready to go, and I was taking pictures about five minutes after the battery was done charging. The camera does come with the obligatory 300page manual for when you get round to needing to know about f-stop and aperture timings and all that but the quickstart guide is enough to get you up and running.
So far I've been shooting inside and outside and the picture quality thus far has been, to my untrained eye, exemplary. Although the auto-flash seems a little oversensitive it's just a flick of a lever to turn it off.
The camera comes with it's own picture exporting and viewing programmes although the installation to my PC seemed a little buggy so I'm taking them off manually with Windows Explorer and it's fine.
The only two things to bear in mind before you buy is that, firstly, unlike compacts (or even your phone) at this price range you shouldn't expect to be able to arange a shot via the screen, so you'll be using the viewfinder. Secondly, the Nikon D60, like it's predecessor does not have an internal auto-focus motor, so you're dependent upon the lens having one - this is a standard feature on pretty much EVERY compatable lens that the entry-level amateur will be looking at (if indeed you upgrade at all)but bear in mind that if you're looking to dig out an old Nikon or Sigma from your standard SLR you might be on manual focus.
All round a great camera - really happy with it and would definitely buy again knowing what I know now.
I Love It September 11, 2008

I have been going mad over the last 3 weeks trying to decide which entry level DSLR to go for. I finally settled for the Nikon D60.
As soon as it arrived I was able to shoot some good pictures without reading the "How to take a Picture" chapter in the user manual. Having now read the manual and watched the Nikon D60 Tutorial on the Nikon UK website I am now confident about the camera and how it works. I just need to get my eye in.
The menu's are concise and easy to understand and the instructions are straightforward. Its nice to hold and much lighter than I expected which makes it less of a drag to take it out.
The image quality is great. Vibrant colours, crisp, clear and detailed pictures make it a pleasure to use. The high ISO availabilty is brilliant and not grainy as I thought it would be.
In summary, I read many, many reviews on this camera and I have to say it still exceded my expectations. Chuffed to NAAFI breaks with it.
Don't faff about like I did trying to decide which camera to go for, just go to Amazon and buy this, it will save you a lot of time because this really is the camera you are looking for!
