Frast Response… Creative Versatility… Oustanding Image Quality

Nikon hands over the vanguard technologies you would anticipate from a digital SLR — fast response, creative versatility, and breathless image quality — while wiping out complications and frustrations so that taking pictures is gratifying and stress-free.

Established on 90 years of optical expertise and decades of award-winning camera innovations, the Nikon family of cameras addresses every type of picture-taker — from hardened professionals to travelers on holiday.

The Nikon D60 Digital SLR is the most recent example of Nikon invention, translating complex engineering into a fun, potent and easy-to-use camera. 

10.2 Megapixels Resolution

With 10.2 megapixels, the Nikon D60’s image sensor delivers high-resolution pictures with rich, faithful color and detail that are ready for stunning enlargements. It also gives you the freedom to crop pictures exactly as you want them. And with Nikon’s 3D Color Matrix Metering II, you can expect attractively exposed pictures under almost any lighting circumstance, with Nikon’s original digital image processing concept, EXPEED, comprehensively optimizing your pictures, shot after shot.

Nikon D60 Digital SLR Highlights

Every time you turn the camera on or off, this function uses vibrations to steer dust away from the optical low-pass filter in front of the sensor (deactivation and manual activation are also possible).

Nikon engineers have also dealt with dust and other tiny particles in many other ways to prevent such image degrading material from attaching to the filter or being seen by the sensor when you are taking pictures.

With all these measures in place, you can concentrate on getting the shot while exploring the wide array of Nikkor interchangeable lenses that a Nikon digital SLR opens up to you.

Nikon’s Integrated Dust Reduction System

Nikon Integrated Dust Reduction System Dust in front of your camera sensor can mean distracting spots on your pictures. That’s why Nikon does everything to ensure clear pictures, including minimizing the build-up and appearance of dust.

Nikon’s exclusive Airflow Control System is one of the two main protections against dust. It leads air within the mirror box towards small ducts near the base, preventing internal dust from settling in front of the image sensor.

The Nikon D60’s second form of defense is the Imaging Sensor Cleaning function, which was originally built for the D300.

Eye Sensor The Eye Sensor activates every time you look through the viewfinder, turning off the information display on the LCD for comfortable shooting.

Active D-Lighting

Rich, Smooth Detail with Active D-Lighting Sometimes, even a perfectly exposed scene will not render an ideal photograph. With difficult lighting conditions, important details can be lost in the highlights and shadows. But with Nikon D60 Active D-Lighting, the D60 can correct these exposure issues instantly and automatically, while you shoot. Simply set Active D-Lighting before you start shooting. Active D-Lighting is available when “Matrix” is selected for metering.

Compact, Light and well-situated The Nikon D60 is compact, light and set up to go wherever life takes you. The D60’s size isn’t the sole ingredient to consider; its configuration is ergonomically designed to fit in your hand naturally and comfortably.

Nikon’s experienced technologists know that working a camera shouldn’t trouble you. That’s why each button and texture on the camera’s exterior has been cautiously considered for the most efficient and flowing operation conceivable.

Display Format selections 

The information display in the 2.5-inch LCD monitor allows you check crucial camera information rapidly and easily. Decide whatever display format conforms to your taste best: each of the Graphic and Classic formats have three color variations to suit your preferences, while wallpaper uses one of your own pictures as the background.

Graphic format uses visual displays to show shutter speed and aperture, as well as the mode dial every time you turn it to a new setting.

The Nikon D60 even recognizes whether you are holding the camera horizontally or vertically, and then automatically displays camera information on the LCD monitor accordingly.

Bright… Clear… Optical Viewfinder

The Nikon D60’s bright, clear optical viewfinder is also configured with the user in mind, its helpful indicators and intuitive icons helping you achieve ideal composition with the optimal settings.

Nikon’s Intelligent Built-in Flash — Simply Brilliant Proper flash lighting used to require skill, time and patience.

With the Nikon D60, however, flash photography is simple, instant and accurate. Thanks to Nikon’s cutting-edge i-TTL flash technology, all the complicated calculations happen automatically, giving you balanced flash illumination under almost any conditions, even difficult lighting situations such as backlit subjects.

With Auto mode, you just point, shoot and let the camera do the rest. It’s that simple.

Quick responses, captured moments, amazing moments can pass by quickly, but the NikonD60’s fast 0.19-second startup, split-second shooting time lag and fast, accurate autofocus capture more of these moments with precision. The camera’s high-speed continuous shooting also helps capture fast-moving action at up to 3 pictures per second for as many as 100 (JPEG) pictures.

Intuitive Menu Navigation The Nikon D60 lets you alter settings and functions in a lot ways. For all the options it offers, the menu is still surprisingly simple and intuitive, with navigation made easy thanks to a carefully considered design.

If you are ever unsure about a specific feature or function, simply press the O button for detailed information. It’s like having an onboard instructor to answer your questions.

Nikon D60’s Assist Images Function

The Nikon D60’s convenient assist images help you select appropriate camera settings. These useful reference images help explain the effect that each function has on your photos — very helpful for exploring new features and making the most of the camera.

Creative shooting is just a quick turn away With the D60, you will always be geared up to shoot a extensive variety of subject matter. Just turn the mode dial to fit your shooting situation and beautiful results are yours instantly.

A wide variety of in-camera Retouch Menus Even after a picture is taken, the D60 offers ways to explore your creative thinking further. With a wide range of picks to choose from, the quick, simple and extensive Retouch Menu allows you to create a duplicate image with amazing photo effects, leaving the original picture intact. And it’s all done in-camera — without the need for a computer.

Quick Retouch… Saves You Time 

The right touch — Quick Retouch Sometimes you want to make sure that your picture has the best balance of contrast and saturation. For this, choose the Quick Retouch feature. It creates an automatically retouched copy that has been optimized for better-looking pictures.

Original animation — Stop-motion Movie Want more fun out of digital photography? Try making a stop-motion movie from a series of sequential pictures. Merely select the first and last frames from a sequence of shots.

You can easily re-edit before saving it as a movie by changing the starting image or removing specific images. There are also several size and frame rates to choose from.

D60’s In-Camera NEF (RAW) Processing

Anticipate much more from your pictures — In-camera NEF (RAW) Processing Nikon’s D60 NEF (RAW) format lets you enjoy an incredible amount of creative freedom and control over camera settings — even after the actual shot is taken.

If time is tight or you are unsure of which setting to use, it’s even possible to shoot first with NEF (RAW) and make adjustments later. That’s right: you can take pictures, and then change the image quality, image size, white balance or even exposure compensation. All operations are quick, simple and do not require a computer.

Wait Till You See Nikon D60’s Filter Effects!

Explore further — Filter Effects The Nikon D60’s Filter Effects let you experiment with color and light. Each of the Red/Green/Blue Intensifier effects let you enhance the color of your choice.

Try the Cross Screen feature to create starbursts radiating from scene highlights. For other options, use Color Balance to modify the entire image, or experiment with Skylight and Warm Filters.

And is it a better DSLR than a Canon 1000d (In MY opinion the body on the Canon 1000d seems a bit poor quality)
What is your opinion.
Thank you for your answers.
Have a great evening
We all know the Nikon D3000 beats the Canon 1000d HANDS DOWN. But is the Nikon D60 better than the Canon 1000d.

I had picked D60 over 1000d a year back.
This site has side by side comparison ;

I am buying a Nikon d60 tomorrow, and I really don’t know much about it at all. If anyone has some tips for me, it would be greatly appreciated. Any tips on how to care for the camera, how to take different shots, etc. Thanks.

I use the same camera and my advice would be to read the camera’s user manual carefully and try out all the settings/options of the camera.

Nikon dSLR camera lenses for D60 & D5000?

Posted by admin in February 27th 2010    under: Nikon D60 Lenses    
  
4 Comments

I’m getting either a Nikon D60 or D5000 camera for xmas. I’m not sure yet but I’d like to have family get me some lenses.
Do they both use the same lenses?
If so which would you recommend for a beginner that plans on taking portrait pictures, family functions, inside & outside and every day things. I don’t need crazy zoom or macro but would like the basics.
I’d like to get into photography so I want a dSLR not a point & shoot.

Yes, they use the same type of lenses (AF or AF-S).

If you’re looking for something versatile, I would suggest the Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens.
But if you’re just getting into photography and want something cheap that will still get the job done, I would recommend getting the kit lens (the camera + 18-55mm lens).

i just bought a Nikon d60 and i am looking to buy lenses… what should i start out with?

I have been taking pictures for a little while with my work camera and just bought one of my own. I am unsure what lenses i should start with. Any Suggestions?

B

The 18-55mm kit lens that comes with most D60 cameras is a great start. My suggestion for the next optic would be the Nikon 55-200mm vr (vibration reduction). Together, you’ll have a very nice 18-200mm range that covers most of what many photographers need.

I’d also look at an SB-400 or SB-600 flash to compliment your camera as either will help you capture indoor photos with more flattering lighting and greater range than the built-in flash can.

Fisheye lenses for Nikon D60?

Posted by admin in February 21st 2010    under: Nikon D60 Lenses    
  
1 Comment

What are the best fisheye lenses for Nikon D60 or fisheye lens converters (for Nikkor 18-55mm stock zoom lens) and where are the best places to purchase them for a good price? Links to sites will be greatly appreciated!

It’d be great for the converters to be under 100 and the lenses to be under 250, if possible.

I haven’t heard of a fisheye converter for standard lenses and couldn’t find one after a quick search online. The only ones I could find were for compact cameras so I wouldn’t be too confident that such a thing exists for SLR lenses.
The next problem is that the fisheye lens designed for cameras with an APS-C sensor like yours is a Nikon and costs £500+ here in the UK. Maybe you could find one 2nd hand. Important to look for the 4.5mm one as the 10.5mm on your camera would not be true fisheye, just a wide angle lens.
Hope that someone comes along with better news.

What lenses to use with a Nikon D60 camera?

Posted by admin in February 18th 2010    under: Nikon D60 Lenses    
  
1 Comment

Can the D60 digital camera use any older Nikkor lens from the film cameras? If so, is the aperture ring functional or does the camera meter the light automatically?
What I mean is, what older lenses will use the full-functionality of the D60 features, and what type are simply compatible but may not have auto-focus or some other capability? I see lots of older Nikon lenses on ebay for $100 or less but not sure if they are a good option.

Nearly all Nikon lenses made in the last 50 years are compatible with the D60. The only ones which will not work are early non-retrofocus-style wideangles and "IX" lenses for their short lived APS film SLRs, as these lenses would penetrate too far into the mirror box.

Now the D60 doesn’t have the proper couplings for AI metering. So in order to use the built in light meter you’ll need lenses that are equipped with a Matrix Metering CPU. This includes all varieties of "AF" lenses as well as AI-p models. Furthermore this body doesn’t have a built in motor like older (or higher end) Nikons, and so instead the autofocus system relies on a dedicated motor built into the lens itself. Either "AF-I" or "AF-S", or a third party equivalent like Sigma’s "HSM".

For lenses that support light metering you must always set the aperture on the body; It will not let you use the light meter if the ring on the lens is set to anything other than the smallest aperture setting.

Nikon D60 and D80 cameras

Posted by admin in February 13th 2010    under: Nikon D60 Cameras    
  
5 Comments

I want to know which of these two ONLY is better in image quality, sharpness, (better performance and quality) in low light. The D60 is more recent than D80 so i don’t know whether it’s better. Can you please compare these two with each other and tell me what is bad and good in them? Is there a lot of difference in the colour and quality of the photos? I know that these two cameras are excellent but which do you think is better?

They are very similar in terms of image quality. But if you’re interested in low light, you might want the D80 simply because you can use lenses like the 50mm f1.8 or the 85mm f1.8

These lenses work very well for low light situations because of their aperture. They will auto focus on the D80 but not on the D60. The D60 has limited lens compatibility in terms of auto focus. You won’t need to kick the ISO as high with the D80 is you use those lenses.
