World's First Nikon D60 Hands-on Review by Digitalrev.com

What is the difference between the Nikon D60 and the Nikon D80? Is the price difference worth it?

Jul 16, 2008 by Jake Uden | Posted in Cameras

Any info you could provide me with would be awesome! I'm buying my first SLR Camera, and have read that the D60 is a great one for beginners. But i've been looking and I can't really tell the difference between the D60 and the D80 , except for the price range. Which would you recommend?

Here they are side by side:
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras=nikon_d60%2Cnikon_d80&show=all
Detailed reviews for both are also linked from the page above

Is it worth it? You decide.
D60 is a high level consumer camera
D80 is more of a low level pro camera.

D60 is newer - comes with newer technology, but has fewer bells and whistles.
D80 is older - but is a higher level camera.

I bought my D80 (albeit before D60 came out, so I was measuring it up against D40) because it has a few extra buttons saving me trips to menu for things like changing ISO, also DOF preview (don't remember if D60 has it, I know D40 doesn't).

But one of the big things for me - over years I've been used to having a small LCD screen on top of the camera that shows all the settings, and D80 has that, but not D60...

Also if you have a good collection of older Nikon lenses that are not AF-S (or AF-I), D60 won't be able to autofocus those, as it does not have the focusing motor, relying on one inside the lens. Could be an issue for some, but non-issue for most, because pretty much all new lenses are AF-S.

D80 is heavier, D60 is lighter. Some people find it more convenient to haul a lighter cameras with them on hiking vacations. After all your main purpose of a trip is to hike, and secondary is to take great photographs. If it's the other way around, then you may throw the weight away as a non-factor.

BUT... here's the most important part:
Image quality, sensor quality, and basically results wise - I don't think you'll see the difference. All the differences are in the convenience features. So if you can live without a few extra bells and whistles listed above, and a few more I forgot to mention - you should be good with D60.

Remember - when you're buying a dSLR - what your real long term investment would be: Lenses. Because the camera bodies, they become obsolete in a few years with the way the technology advances. But a good piece of glass will last you for years, moving from one body to another and another and another. So you should consider buying a cheaper D60, but investing more money into good glass!

But if you think the little conveniences are worth it, then D80 is a better camera for you. If it's your first dSLR - even D40 may do the trick. Don't be fooled by lower megapixels. They are not as important as you may think. Read here:

Good luck with your choice!

Does anyone know how to reproduce the child setting on a nikon d60 on a manual camera?

Oct 23, 2008 by ericsmaria | Posted in Photography

My friend has a nikon d60 and I love the way the child setting makes pictures move. It has the right light and the right speed to catch those little monkeys in action. I have a d80 and don't get the child setting on mine, just wanted to know if anyone knows how to get the same effect on the manual mode. Thanks.

Child mode. That's funny; talk about marketing.

The "Child" mode on the D60 is fairly sophisticated and uses close distance AF priority, Shutter speed control and D-Lighting adjustments to produce the image.

There is no easy way to exactly replicate the "Child" mode on a D80. Your best bet is to use "Shutter Priority" and keep your shutter speeds fast enough to avoid blurring.

How to connect my samsung d60 on TV, I didnt get cable with RCA connector, and camera does not have video out.

Is a Nikon D60 a good first dslr camera for a 13 year old?

Feb 14, 2009 by Jessica | Posted in Cameras

I'm 13 years old and have had like 4 cameras already but none a dslr. I'm into photography and ok at it and I want my first dslr camera. Do you recommend the Nikon D60? I can work my way around it don't worry about that, I just don't know if that cameras good or not for the price (about 600$)

I am more of a canon guy but the nikon d60 is an amazing dslr as a first dslr. Playing with the manual settings, you'll learn a lot about photography. Using the automatic features will help aswell. If your really unsure some camera stores allow the users to play with the cameras before you purchase them plus tons of camera stores have a knowledge staff that will show you how to use some of features.

What are the main differences between the Nikon D40X and the D60?

May 13, 2008 by leatherlunch | Posted in Cameras

I'm considering buying an entry level digital SLR, and the Nikon series has come recommended by a few people whose opinions I trust.

However, in doing a "side-by-side comparison" on dpreview.com I see almost no difference between the D40X and the D60 models. Can anyone tell me what practical variances there are between these two cameras?

There are a couple of tweaks to the basic D40x design to be found in the D60.

First, the D60 has "Adaptive Dynamic Range", a feature previously found only on the D3 and D300.
http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d300/dynamic-range.htm

Second, Nikon has an"Image Sensor Cleaner System" and a "Airflow Control System", to keep the digital sensor clean with each snap of the shutter.

One of the big changes is the inclusion of the 18-55mm VR lens. The VR feature is amazing and can help you get shots that would otherwise be blurs.

Does the non-AF lens on the D60 really have a major effect on acquiring more lenses?

Mar 01, 2009 by sole | Posted in Photography

Considering the wide variety of lenses out there and it's better availability, does this really pose a major concern on purchasing the Nikon D60? Does anyone have any bad experience regarding this topic? I've been reading a lot of reviews and I think there is an over-concern on this matter. Is there any possibility in the near future that production of AF lenses would stop? Thanks in advance!

Your question is confusing (and perhaps confused).

The Nikon D60 accepts AF lenses. It will also accept non-AF lenses, but you would have to focus manually.

The standard 'package' offered by Nikon includes an AF lens. Some discount retailers offer special packages that can include either non-AF lenses, or after-market brand (non-Nikon) lenses. You should be very cautious about purchasing from those dealers because you don't know the quality of the merchandise they are offering, and the dealers may not be as reputable as others. I

saw an add on e-Bay the other day for a Nikon package that included a 'brand-X' AF lens, and both wide-angle and telephoto adapters. It sounded great, and the price was fabulous, but wide-angle and telephoto adapters are junk. The package was obviously targeting uninformed buyers.

Looking to the future, you can anticipate that MORE AF lenses will be produced. It is the non-AF lens that is at risk of going away simply because manufacturers perceive that the market wants AF, AF is a feature that they can offer that supposedly enhances the value of the lens (so that they can charge a higher price for it than for a non-AF lens).

Does the 3 AF points on the NIKON D60 effect the picture quality or practicality?

Feb 17, 2009 by Neil M | Posted in Cameras

I'm Thinking to buy a new NIKON D60 but ive heard reviews say that it only has 3 AF points. If any of you guys use the D60 then can you please tell me about the picture quality and practicality?

the post above is correct the AF points are just points the camera can autofocus on. I would suggest checking the guide below as explains all the jargon cameras use.

Are the lenses for a Nikon F75 film SLR and a D60 digital SLR inter-compatible?

Mar 09, 2009 by MrsADM | Posted in Cameras

Thanks in advance for the help. I've had a Nikon F75 film camera for some time and have recently purchased a Nikon D60. I'm curious to know if the lenses for both cameras have the same contacts and are inter-compatible. Any info is greatly appreciated!

Thanks again!
