Key Advantages

The Nikon D60 boasts a lightweight and compact design, making it portable for everyday use. Its 3-inch LCD screen provides clear image review and menu navigation. The camera includes Nikon's Active D-Lighting feature, which enhances shadow and highlight details for better image contrast. It supports D-lens autofocus and employs a quiet shutter release system, reducing noise during shooting. The D60 also offers a broad range of compatible Nikkor lenses, expanding creative possibilities. Additionally, it provides user-friendly controls suitable for both beginners and enthusiasts.

Limitations

The Nikon D60 lacks a live view mode, limiting real-time composition through the LCD screen. Its maximum video recording capabilities are non-existent, as it does not support video capture. The sensor is a CCD type, which may result in higher noise levels at elevated ISO settings compared to modern CMOS sensors. The continuous shooting speed is moderate at 3 fps, which may not satisfy rapid action photography needs. The camera currently uses the older EN-EL9 battery type, with relatively limited battery life. Additionally, the camera’s absence of built-in image stabilization necessitates reliance on lenses with vibration reduction features.
