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.

It is an excellent camera and will keep you busy learning how to use all if its features.

Until then, place the camera in the program mode and let the camera make the exposures for you.

i am 15 and i have had the nikon d60 for a little over a year it is realy good easy to use and lots of controls you can edit your pictures in the camrea itsself so u dont need a pc which is a real good feature

i got it with a 18 to 55 mm zoom which is about 3x optical zoom from ultra wide angle you may want to get a 2nd lense of a 55 to 200 if you want a bit of zoom

after having the camrea a year i have found that a few advanced features are not there which is a little disiponting but it still produces good pics

if you can afford to get the nikon d90 i would strongly recomend it its only just been releced and offers far better features of recording video in hd and sound
