    The Nikon F60 has great picture quality, easy to use, and love the ability to change the lenses.

    Overall, the Nikon F60 is a very good camera for a novice such as myself. The F60 has a lot of manual features I have only just begun to explore. For recording those special moments with family and friends as well as vacations, its ease of use is perfect!

    Very good for the money I put in. I do not regret buying it at all. Very good for back up and can take in good picture much as a professional camera.

    The Nikon F60 is a very consitent and sturdy camera.(It can take pretty hard hits without being damaged as I have already found out.)
    The multiple exposure mode would be a nice thing to have but what does a real photographer want with that option? He would seldom use it. If at all.
    In short, it is a awesome camera. I love it.

    This is a good camera for the novice. It is easy to use, feels great to hold and is sturdy and durable.
    However, it's not appropriate for someone who has used SLR's before, except as a backup. If you are upgrading from a manual SLR, it will pay to go for an intermediate camera, and maybe add extra lenses over time. I found the metering to be poor in anything but ideal conditions. The autofocus is slow, particularly with long lenses.
    Before you buy, ask yourself what sort of photographer you ...

    I have always used the manual function of the SLR camera. My first camera was a Nikon FM10 and then I switched to a F60 thinking that I would get better shots. I was wrong..it is user friendly alright but I find the functions very limited and redundant. Now I'm going back to a fully manual camera!

    Nikon's reputation as a producer of fine photographic gear is evident in this piece of engineering. The camera body is solid, well made, ergonomically comforting, aesthetically svelte, and is a breeze to use. This was meant as a bottom end auto-focus SLR replacing the F50 in the Nikon range, and as a bottom end price point item, I'm willing to forego certain items like depth of field preview. Basically it does what it should, it takes great pictures! The trend has been to make SLRs smaller and s ...

    The Nikon F60 is a brilliant intermediate 35mm SLR camera and not as bad as the other reviews are depicting it. I also have an F100 and think that for what you pay for this SLR, you are getting very good value for money. My F100 cost about £950 without a lens. It has more than enough features on it to keep even the most adventurist photographer happy. I like it. You can't go far wrong with it.

    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, ...

    I use this Nikon F60 35mm SLR camera as back-up to two F70 bodies. My kids also use it when on holiday. There is enough here to enable someone to produce good photographs even if they have minimal operational skills. I see the main problem as being the lack of long term potential for an enthusiast - s/he will want to upgrade in order to get some of the more useful features such as spot metering, cable release socket, auto-bracketing, more exact exposure setting & the ability to meter with manual ...

    The next day after I'd bought the Nikon F60 35mm slr camera, I'd regretted and it was just taking up space in my electric dehumidifier.

    Overall, a very good camera, especially at £200 with the 28-80mm Nikkor D lens. The F60 does almost everything you could wish for (apart from multiple exposure). The F60 can utilise the NAIS manual focus lenses (but with no exposure control, except with TTL flash). Very simple to use, but can be as complicated as you wish. LCD viewfinder readout of shutter and f-stop is a bonus, as is the built-in TTL flash.
