Light and compact design, Fast UI and overall performance, A good amount of new-age features, Great image quality, Accurate color reproduction
Misses the minute details, No Live-View as in newer D-SLRs
The Nikon D40 is a perennial favorite with students and entry-level consumers who want a D-SLR. The value pricing, compact design, and a good mix of features make it a hot seller even today. The D40x had some improvements, but apart from the megapixel ...

Optically stabilized kit lens; convenient onscreen user interface; compatible with a wide variety of lenses and accessories.
Pricey for what it offers; lens-based image stabilization is less flexible than sensor-shift offered by some competitors.
Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikons D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models.
Abstract: Last August I requested to see this DSLR unit from Nikon and a series of miss communications means it finally arrived with me recently, was it worth the wait, it sure was! I always enjoy being stretched when I review a DSLR....
Abstract: The Nikon D60 is a perfect choice for newcomers to digital SLRs. Alternatively, as it offers excellent image quality, familiar Nikon menu systems and good scope for manual controls at a budget price, it would also be a favourable, lightweight back-up ...

The D60 risks being not quite friendly enough for beginners and not quite techy enough for advanced users, but if you just want a simple, easy to use SLR that shoots gorgeous, high resolution images, it fits the bill. The Sony A200 is well worth a look...

Abstract: I find that I cant help but love the Nikon DSLR range - they make it fairly impossible to take a bad photo, even for a decidedly non-expert photographer like myself. Dans taken quite a shine to the D60, which totes 10.2 megapixels, a 2.5-inch screen ...
Abstract: The Nikon D60 aims to hook point-and-shoot photography enthusiasts crossing over to the digital SLR dimension. The next step up from the Nikon D40x, this model adds advanced in-camera editing, including Nikon’s D-Lighting technology and an in-camera st...
