Key Advantages
The Nikon D60 offers excellent image quality for its class, making it ideal for beginner photographers. Its lightweight and compact design enhance portability and ease of use. The camera’s high-resolution CCD sensor captures sharp and vibrant photos. The built-in dust reduction system helps keep images clean by minimizing sensor dust. Its compatibility with a broad range of Nikon lenses provides versatility in shooting styles. Moreover, the camera’s user-friendly interface and guide mode aid newcomers in mastering DSLRs efficiently.
Limitations
The Nikon D60 does not support HD video recording, limiting its functionality compared to modern DSLRs. Its autofocus system is relatively basic, with only 3 focus points, which may not suffice for fast or complex shooting scenarios. The ISO range tops at 1600 natively, which can limit performance in very low-light situations. The 2.5-inch LCD screen has lower resolution compared to contemporary standards, reducing image preview clarity. It lacks some advanced features like live view and in-camera image editing. Battery life, while acceptable, may be shorter compared to newer DSLR models.
