Nikon D60

10 Jul, 2008, 4:17 pm IST | by Gagan Gupta | DSLRs DSLRs

Conclusion
The D60 is an excellent D-SLR camera to start with. It offers you a huge range of functionality, and being a Nikon, you'll easily be able to find a good variety of accessories for it. Its attractive pricing of Rs 32,995 (street price for body + 18-55mm VR kit lens) puts it around the same price range as the Canon EOS 400D, but well below the newly launched Canon EOS 450D. But existing Nikon D40/D40x users might want to hang in there a little longer. Though the D60 is a great camera, it doesn't have many substantially new features to warrant an upgrade. But I'd unreservedly recommend it for new users!
