Excellent SLR camera for little money

It is when purchasing a camera about two things: will 1.) and how much money I spend 2.) what I want to photograph them. If the first question indicated with a fund of 400 - $ 500, accounts for all comparisons to higher-priced models. Clear that we get for more money even more. But we need it? Then closes the second basic question in turn: I want to shoot professional sports and action photos or achieve the ultimate quality in glossy magazines, neither the D60 nor the specified finazielle discretion recommended. But for the ambitious photographer and especially for the beginner digital SLR camera, the D60 is excellent. It is easy to use, handy and easy for an SLR. The picture quality is very decent for this price range. With regard to freedom from noise I will not come up in the chorus of cheers singer, but with the color reproduction, sharpness, and the balance in the picture, I am very satisfied.


I have made a direct frame-by-scan comparison with the Panasonic FZ28, a comparison which is perfectly legitimate, since it is the owners of compact and bridge cameras that will afford a view to improving the image quality of an SLR Fotografiergeschwindigkeit to the target of Nikon "beginners" count. The FZ28 is making very good pictures, so good, that is recorded in the superficial compared with the D60 photos initially not such a big difference too. Only at the 100-percent increase to recognize quality differences. Where it is at the FZ28 messy and noisy, the D60 still draws a clean image. The biggest difference however is in the shooting itself: where is the auto focus of the FZ28 - a quick search of the compact camera - even after sharpness, with the D60 far the reception in the box. Also you should try that with the fully manual operated FZ28 not manually adjust the focus. This works with the D60 is not only much better, but with manual lenses really good.

How do I turn briefly to the two most striking disadvantage of the D60, which should be known if one opts for this camera: 1.) no built-in auto focus, depending on the lens with autofocus motor and 2.) LiveView neither, nor depth-to make a to obtain impression of the image that you want to shoot.


The first point is just unfair to those who have a bag full of Nikon lenses have, they can use on the D60 with manual focus. For beginners or for those who care enough one or two lenses, but not really a problem, especially since the mitggelieferte VR zoom lens is great. On the second point: I would have LiveView been found to be good in situations where you can not see because of the prospect through the eyepiece (eg lying on the floor or holding over your head). But these are exceptional situations are so rare that my image quality and handling are other much more important.

In conclusion, I find that the D60 is ideal for beginners (it should be mentioned the Info button, which provides information on settings and shooting situations) and also for the ambitious photographer who does not need high-speed camera and not be a pocket of older lenses net calls. I think the processing properly. I've read reviews of Nikon D300 owners who think that the D60 would be a cheap plastic toys processed. I can agree under any circumstances. This camera offers very good technical possibilities to make good photographs. Because that's missing is the good photographer. The photographer is not good, it does not help to invest 3000 euros in a professional camera.

Another added, after having the D60 on eight rock concerts for journalistic purposes in use (3000 photos, ISO 800 - 1600) was: fast, reliable, good with color, good exposure processing, problem use, long battery life, given the high ISO values at maximum aperture still good to usable photos. Criticisms: slow processing of several photos taken in quick succession. Significant weaknesses to trigger auto focus incompetence photos in the crowds in. (autofocus hardly knew what he should Sharpen).
