    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Compared to other DSLR's: light weight, compact, quick and easy to use. Takes great photos and the price is hard to beat. The VR lens that this comes with is a must.

    Weaknesses:If you are looking at cameras this is the way to go but I would suggest getting an additional lens.

    Overall Evaluation: My friend has the d40x which is what I was going to purchase. When I saw this and read about the upgrades on this camera and saw the price point, I quickly changed to this camera. It has some great features and the fact that it comes with a VR lens, this is the best way to go for an entry level prosumer cam.

    Strengths: Fast focus on the 55-200 lens. Camera is relatively wuiet and easy to use for a first time SLR user. Easy to grip and hold.

    Weaknesses:Only thing I don't care for is the display automatically cutting off when the camera is raised to the eye because if you tilt it at all it cuts off... I have discovered how to turn it off though!

    Overall Evaluation: Love it so far.. This camera seems to be a very good choice for a first time SLR buyer. The price is good for the kit and is all you need to get started. Battery charges fast and seems to hold the charge for about 400 -600 photos. Takes great shots and they pics crop down and hold form and color.

    Strengths: Sharp photos, no shutter lag, sensor cleaner & In-camera retouching & editing

    Weaknesses:Pricey, only 10.2 MP

    Overall Evaluation: If you are used to a compact point-and-shoot and want to overcome the shortcomings of these cameras, then consider the Nikon D60.This camera is designed for newcomers to DSLRs and Nikon wants you to feel at home with this camera. The size and weight is just slightly more than a deluxe point-and-shoot with lots more options for those who want to take photography more seriously.Among the major reasons for buying this camera is its sharp pictures due to Nikon's lens technology which now includes a vibration reduction lens to keep your photos steady. The sensor cleaner is a big plus to keep those images clear. You have the option of using the camera on automatic or trying out many of Nikon's built-in options for editing your shots.There are very few negatives. If you are used to the pricing with a point-and-shoot, a DSLR camera looks like sticker shock. But when you realize all the benefits you are getting, it makes sense. Only other negative is that with more and more cameras raising the bar with mega-pixels, one wonders why Nikon couldn't have gone to a 12MP resolution in the D60. But for most of us, 10MP should be fine.All-in-all this is one great camera value. You get the lightweight small configuration of a point-and-shoot in a DSLR with all the benefits that the D60 offers.
