The Nikon D60 Review
Even in my childhood I was always asking my parents for their Kodak Brownie camera that I eventually broke through using it so much. My parents were always buying me more film. Now, its the Nikon D60, but I’ve always owned a camera and still taking thousands of pictures with them.
I did own a digital Kodak 290 plus which was cool. That Kodak which I’ve had for a while now is old. Anything you photograph has got to be less than 10 feet in front of the lens or its not recognisable.
I’ve recently bought a Digital SLR which comes with a comfortable grip and only weighs in at around 495g so the Nikon D60 is a definite improvement on all the other camera’s I’ve owned.
Maximum image quality and optimum performance are only two of this great little camera’s ability to capture photos with its 10.2 megapixel lens. With the DX Format, photographs can be enlarged without the loss of any image detail.
Looking through any lens you get spots of dirt on it, but the Nikon D60 has a new weapon against dirt spots and that’s what is known as the Image Sensor Cleaning Airflow system. No more dirt in the view finder to worry about.
There’s now more fiddling with buttons or settings. Once the camera is set on auto it tends to take a picture of the nearest thing it sees and that’s usually you.
This auto focus and auto mode are fine as long as you remember what’s switched on when you take the picture. When you go to take a shot and the auto focus is on you could accidentally take your own picture because your reflection in the train window is nearest to the camera.
Catching photos when you need to requires you to have your camera handy and that’s exactly what the small light Nikon is for. The D60 is also compatible with world famous lenses and therefore optimized for both the AF-S and the AF-I lenses.
Active D lighting retains those details in high lights and shadow giving stunning images in a natural contrast environment. 10 amazing graphic affects await you in the Nikon D60′s touch up menu along with ‘Stop Motion’ and ‘NEF’ (Raw).
Of all the functions on the Nikon D60, the eye sensor has to be one of the cutest as it senses when you are about to take a photo and closes the display so you don’t get distracted. The gadgetry in the Nikon D60 is surely the most sophisticated I’ve ever seen but I’m so happy with its results.
