Cons: Slow motordrive. No remote shutter, DX override, DOF preview. MF lenses don't work.

I'm a reporter for a small newspaper, which is what I mostly use this thing for. We have a photographer who shoots most of the assignments for the rag, but sometimes he's busy and I'm on my own for art. So buying a pro-level unit didn't make much sense,...

Pros: Versatile, solid build, take super clear photos, easy to use.
Cons: Little heavy for snapshot uses, no manual light meter

It has been over a year since I bought my Nikon N60 and I'm liking it better and better as I go. I used to use an all manual Pentax K1000 camera. The Pentax took great people pictures, but it was taking too long to set up the shots I wanted, and it...

Pros: So easy to use, wonderful features to explore
Cons: too expensive for just anyone to own one(which could be a good thing)

My Minolta finally died two years ago. It was sad to see it go, as it had taken many pictures in the four years I'd had it. The first time a roll of film rewound at the number four picture, I knew I had to start looking for another camera. Luckily,...

Pros: Looks cool. Great pictures. Wide variety of options.
Cons: When you start taking more pictures, you realize how expensive film really is.

I've had this old beat-up Nikon point-and-shoot (PaS) camera since I went on my 8th grade trip to Washington DC. That was 9 years ago and that camera has been more places than most of my friends will ever go. It still takes great pictures, but I wanted...

Pros: Makes you take professional looking pictures
Cons: Costs more,.... but it's well worth it.

Cons: Could Be Expensive For An Amateur

I purchased my Nikon N60 about 8 months ago, after using my brother's N6006. I fell in love with the camera instantly! I am not a professional, but I don't need to be with this camera. The N60 is basically idiot proof in its fully automatic mode, and has...

Pros: easy use, excellent exposure, great quality
Cons: heavy, no built-in motor drive

Last year I purchased a Nikon N60 SLR camera with a 28-80mm Quantaray zoom lens and it has been the best investment I've made in photography. You might think the price ($399.99) is a little high for the every-day amateur snap-shooter, but the N60...

Pros: easy to use
Cons: not many

When my husband first purchased this camera, I wanted nothing to do with it. I was very use to the point and click cameras, and this camera looked like it was a pain to use. I was wrong.

I really started using this camera after my son was...

Pros: Excellent construction, outstanding control layout and very easy to operate in all modes
Cons: No dept of field preview, no cable attachment for shutter.

After years putting up with crappy 35mm point-and-shoots I came to the decision that I was ready for a "real" camera. Computer guy that I am, I wanted a digital camera. The problem was that back then $500 would buy me nothing higher than...

Pros: NIkon quality and simple to operate
Cons: a little heavy compared to others

The Nikon N-60 is a great camera for someone who is looking for their first SLR, yet it offers all the advanced features one would need. The automatic mode is excellent for those who have been hesitant or maybe even scared of SLR cameras. The worry...

Cons: unable to change the film speed and no cable release hook ups

I am a beginning photography student. After one semester of B&W with an oldie, but goodie Canon A-1 I was ready to take a step up in cameras. I wanted a camera that was both manual and auto. I found that I was missing out on a lot of great shots...

Pros: easy use, quality, many attachments

The Nikon N60 was a Christmas present I received a year ago and let me say it was the best thing an intermediate photographer could ask for. As an avid photographer and photo student, I was in search of a camera that wasn't too expensive yet could...

Cons: lenses and extras break the bank

Cons: Has a couple of quirks

As an outdoor writer specializing in travel, flyfishing, hunting, and the environment, I use several cameras a great deal to support the articles I sell to dozens of magazines, and for my books. For many years I have used Canons only, but in the spring...

Pros: price, quality
Cons: built-in flash

I have had my N60 for about a year. I bought it with a 28-200mm Sigma zoom, and the combination is a really great, versatile, camera. I never have to change lenses for most applications. The N60 has a nice, ergonomic design, beautiful I'd say, and a...

Pros: weight, size, price, photo quality
Cons: auto flash mechanism, tricky settings

Pros: Robust, good LCD, excellent battery life and handsome design.
Cons: Noisy and tricky to master.

I'm new at this photography lark. Back when I got by with an automatic point-and-click Olympus Trip, I marvelled at how simple it was to take a picture that looked like it was cut from a magazine. Of course, I was a naive youngster with little knowledge...

Pros: Ease of use, flexibility, advanced capabilities
Cons: Um, haven't found any yet?

I've used more point-and-shoot 35mm "idiot-boxes" than I care to remember. But I've used enough Nikons to know there was something better out there. So I broke down and bought a real camera. I purchased the Nikon N60 with a Quantaray 28-80mm...

Pros: Excellent quality, lots options like auto/manual modes, scenic, action and portrait photography, programming option
Cons: Camera price does not include battery, camara belt and camera bag which is available with other brands of camera.

Cons: None yet

As a military journalist I end up taking a lot of pictures for my job. As a father I end up taking a lot of pictures for my family. The Nikon N60 lets me merge both into a great package.

Cons: price

I have received my camera as a gift about a year and a half ago. This was to be my first semi-professional piece of equipment and I was quite intimidated. I have done extensive reading on the basics of photography prior to getting a camera and it turned...

Pros: Ease of use, yet produces great photos
Cons: I find NO faults with this camera

I have owned 35mm slr cameras for since the early 1950's, including several Nikons. In my opinion, this is the best camera in it's price range. It gives one the choice of auto set or hand set. Diabetes has taken some of the sharpness from my sight, so...

Pros: great pictures
Cons: limited choices for changing lenses

My Nikon N60 has become a life saver. Got mine at Costco for $380 with the 35-80mm lens. This camera can do it all for you, or you can use the manual, and semi-manual features to shoot your picture however you want to. If you can find one, buy the...

Pros: Simple, reliable, does what it suppose to do
Cons: Basic features, price, price, price

Architecture School forced my to buy a camera, even though i wanted one anyway. So I looked to the field leader, tried and true, NIkon. I consider it one of the best. Previously I had gotten into photography using a Asahi Pentax manual SLR. IT served my...

Pros: Great pictures, auto/manual, easy use

Cons: I'll have to get back to you

Pros: Some
Cons: Many (depending on your level of photography)
