Key Advantages

The Nikon D60 offers excellent image quality with its 10.2 MP DX-format CCD sensor. Its compact and lightweight design is convenient for travel and everyday photography. The inclusion of Nikon's EXPEED processor ensures efficient image processing and noise reduction at higher ISOs. It provides a user-friendly interface with a 2.5-inch LCD screen for easy navigation and preview. Interchangeable Nikkor lenses extend creative possibilities significantly. The camera supports RAW image capture, which is essential for advanced photo editing.

Limitations

The autofocus system is limited to only 3 focus points, which may not be sufficient for fast-moving subjects or complex compositions. The 2.5-inch LCD screen resolution is relatively low compared to modern cameras, making image review less detailed. ISO sensitivity maxes out at 1600, which restricts performance in very low-light scenarios compared to newer models. Lack of live view and video recording features limits multimedia capabilities. The camera does not have in-body image stabilization, relying instead on lens-based VR technology. Battery life is average, requiring frequent changes during intensive shooting sessions.
