Reviews of the Nikon D60 (body only)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Optically stabilized kit lens; convenient onscreen user interface; compatible with a wide variety of lenses and accessories.
The Bad: Pricey for what it offers; lens-based image stabilization is less flexible than sensor-shift offered by some competitors.
The Bottom Line: Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikon's D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models.

Review Summary: Of all the DSLRs targeted to family use, the D60 is without doubt the best. It handles superbly and its matrix metering nails the exposure right. Performance and responsiveness are excellent. Images are by default on the vivid side, so colors are bright.
