Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera Review

by Kathleen Cullen, PC World

- Updated 12/23/08: The Nikon D60 aims to hook point-and-shoot photography enthusiasts crossing over to the digital SLR dimension. The next step up from the Nikon D40x, this model adds advanced in-camera editing, including Nikon's D-Lighting technology and an in-camera stop-action-animation mode. Ringing up at $650 (with kit lens, price as of 12/10/08), the D60 is priced similarly to its competition.

Reviewed by: JustGetItFREE

Duration of ownership: 3 Months

Strengths: Crystal Clear Video, High Zoom Capabilities, Sleek Design, Lightweight, Portable

Weaknesses: It's a bit pricey!

Overall Evaluation: This is an absolute MUST for everyone looking to get a new Camera! ...BUT, the price is a little to high in my opinion, I never would have got one if I never got mine for FREE!. Luckily a friend recommended this website to me before I went and bought one: **- www.cameras.justgetitfree.com - ** . I checked out the website, completed ONE simple offer and met the requirements to receive one for FREE, it arrived a month later in the post! It was also shown on BBC and CNN news!!
