Nikon D60: a compact, entry-level APS-C DSLR with adaptive dynamic range
The D60 pairs a 10-megapixel CCD sensor with Nikon's F mount, giving you access to a proven ecosystem of AF-S lenses in a body that weighs 522 g and measures 126 x 94 x 64 mm. Shutter speeds run from 30 sec to 1/4000 sec, and the pop-up flash covers a 12m range at ISO 100, with hot-shoe support for external Speedlights like the SB-800 and SB-600 through Nikon's Creative Lighting System.
Exposure control stays straightforward: aperture priority, shutter priority, and exposure compensation of plus or minus 5 EV at 1/3 or 1/2 EV steps give you room to fine-tune without wading through menus. The optical pentamirror viewfinder shows 95% coverage at 0.8x magnification, and the 3-point AF system keeps focus operation simple than exhaustive. A 2.5" LCD with 230,000 dots handles image review, though there's no live view here, this is a camera built around shooting through the finder.
Manual focus gets an unusually clear treatment for its class: the bar graph display in the viewfinder shows focus confirmation with more granularity than a simple in-focus dot, useful when you're working with an AF-S lens in manual mode. Built-in dust reduction and an ultrasonic sensor-cleaning system round out the body. It's a camera built for shooting, not tinkering, and it still handles that job well.
Who It's For
Photographers moving up from a point-and-shoot will find the D40-family control layout easy to learn, with aperture and shutter priority modes plus exposure compensation for hands-on exposure adjustment without a steep learning curve. Travel and family shooters benefit from the 522g body and compact 126 x 94 x 64mm footprint, light enough for all-day carry. Anyone working with manual focus lenses gains from the D60's bar-graph focus confirmation display, which reads more precisely across the viewfinder than a simple dot indicator. Flash shooters get built-in Creative Lighting System compatibility with external Speedlights like the SB-800 and SB-600 for bounce flash and off-camera lighting control.

FAQ
- What sensor does the D60 use?
- A 10.0MP APS-C CCD sensor with a 1.5x focal length multiplier. Nikon pairs it with 23.6 x 15.8 mm dimensions, which is standard for the DX format.
- Can the D60 autofocus with older Nikon lenses?
- Only with AF-S and AF-I lenses. You'll need to focus older AF lenses manually, and the camera won't meter with non-CPU manual focus lenses either.
- How does manual focus indication work on the D60?
- The bar graph display in the viewfinder shows focus confirmation across a broader range than a simple in-focus dot, giving you more precise feedback when focusing AF-S lenses manually.
- What are the flash capabilities?
- The pop-up flash covers 12m at ISO 100. The hot-shoe accepts external Speedlights like the SB-800, SB-600, and SB-400 through Nikon's Creative Lighting System, supporting i-TTL balanced fill-flash with metering.
- What ISO range does the D60 offer?
- Base ISO runs 100–1,600, with an expandable boost to 3,200. The sensor uses standard JPEG quality levels: Fine (1:4), Normal (1:8), and Basic (1:16).
- Does the D60 have live view or video recording?
- No live view. The camera has an optical pentamirror viewfinder with 95% coverage at 0.8x magnification. There's no built-in video, though you can use the animated movie trick to combine sequential JPEGs into an AVI file.
- How does dust control work?
- The D60 includes an ultrasonic sensor-cleaning system plus an Airflow Control System designed to channel particles away from the sensor with each shutter release, reducing dust accumulation.
