General Comments
This Nikon F60 was the first 35mm SLR camera I grabbed. I bought it in Paris two years ago, in a combo with two zooms: a 28-80 AF-D and a 75-240 AF-D. An excellent setup for newbies.
Since then, I've been using it a lot, shooting different subjects (landscapes, portraits, sports, etc.) and under different conditions (everything except heavy rain) with excellent results. Just two words to qualify it: SOLID and CONSISTENT. If you get to know it well, it will never let you down.
For example, last month I shot a wakeboard festival from the shore with my F60 loaded with Kodak Supra 400 and a Nikkor 75-240 AF-D, under moderate to bright sunlight. I uploaded some pictures to show here:

The results were very good (well, I think so). Since I handheld my camera, I tried to set a fairly fast shutter speed (around 1/500) and a moderate aperture (around f/8) in order to get sharp pictures (stopping action and getting the subject in focus). However, the sky is dull and colors seems unnatural due to a lousy scanning process (Since I don't own a filmscanner, the negatives were scanned by the lab with a Noritsu digital minilab, and burned into a CD). The resulting digital images don't have any Photoshop treatment.
On average, people found this review very helpful

Nikon F60 Date
When using the flash, Nikon F60 will automatically set the shutter speed to 1/125 second. In low light situation, this is definitely too fast and will create underexposure results.
