Good Points

I found this camera easy to use, I barely had to look in the manual. I was choosing between this camera and the Sony A200 and found the Sony too bulky where as the Nikon is alot more easy to grip. Overall I am happy I got the Nikon D60 and not the Sony.

Good Points

It takes great pictures easily, it's light and handles well. All the controls are easy to use - you do have to spend a little time with the instructions, though! I recommend doing so and setting up the camera the way you like it. I am pretty much a novice when it comes to digital SLRs so if I can do it, anyone can! The whole package is excellent - if you have kids (as I do) a decent camera is a must and this camera fits the bill superbly.

Bad Points

The built in flash can be a bit harsh - but that's just built in flashes for you. The camera definitely benefits from a dedicated flash - I bought the Nikon SB-600 Speedlight to go with the camera and it's fantastic, I'd highly recommend it (and it's coming down in price as Nikon have just released a brand new top range flash, so good value for money).
