Nikon D60

Quick view

The Nikon D60 is a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera released in 2008, featuring a 10.2-megapixel DX-format CCD sensor optimized for sharp and vibrant imaging. It utilizes Nikon's EXPEED image processing engine to deliver high-quality images with reduced noise and improved color accuracy. The camera is equipped with an 11-point autofocus system and offers shutter speeds ranging from 1/4000 to 30 seconds for versatile shooting conditions. Its optical pentamirror viewfinder provides approximately 95% frame coverage, ideal for composing shots. The D60 supports ISO sensitivity from 100 to 1600 with expanded high ISO capabilities, enhancing performance in low-light scenarios. Additionally, it is compatible with Nikon F-mount lenses and includes features such as active D-lighting and built-in retouch menu for post-processing effects.

The Nikon D60 benefits from a compact and lightweight design, making it highly portable for enthusiasts and beginners alike. Its user-friendly interface and Guide Mode assist new users in understanding DSLR functions effectively. The camera features a dust reduction system that helps maintain sensor cleanliness for consistent image quality. Battery life is strong, allowing extended shooting sessions without frequent recharging. Compatibility with a vast range of Nikon lenses offers flexibility in photographic styles. Moreover, the inclusion of active D-lighting enhances dynamic range, preserving details in highlights and shadows.

Despite its advantages, the Nikon D60 has certain limitations such as the omission of a live view mode found in competing models at its time, which might restrict composition options on the LCD screen. The rear LCD is a 2.5-inch fixed screen with relatively low resolution, limiting detailed image review. Its continuous shooting speed is moderate at approximately 3 frames per second, which may challenge capturing fast action sequences. Video recording capabilities are absent, which today is considered a drawback for versatile use. The camera’s ISO range tops out at 1600, which is limited for high ISO photography in very low light. Lastly, the pentamirror viewfinder offers less brightness and coverage compared to pentaprism systems commonly found in higher-end DSLRs.
