Nikon’s D60 is the Perfect Intro to DSLRs
As any serious photographer can tell you, you aren’t going to get great shots from a point and shoot camera, no matter how many megapixels it has. Without the larger lens and sensor of a DSLR, they just aren’t equipped for it. So if you’re looking to take truly beautiful photos and not just passable snaps of your and your buddies out on the town, you need to upgrade to a DSLR.
The Nikon D60 10.2 Megapixel Digital Camera SLR Body and Lens Kit is one of the most popular and affordable DSLRs on the market. It delivers an excellent value while also not skimping on features or quality. You’ll be able to take amazing shots, be they portraits, landscapes, action shots or anything else you can imagine. The lens on it will allow you to zoom in without losing quality, and the 10.2 megapixel sensor will take pictures large enough for you to blow up to poster size without blurring. It’s the perfect camera for someone who wants all the power of a DSLR without paying a huge price.

can i change lenses with this camera and what lenses do you recommend

Thanks for writing, Susan. The D60 is a DSLR, which means you can use any lens with a Nikon mount. However, the D60 will only autofocus with AF-S lenses (which are what most people use today).
As for lenses, the D60 kits are a good way to go. For example, the 18-55mm is an excellent kit lens. However, if you are looking for more zooming range you may want to get the more expensive Nikon 18-200mm, which is highly acclaimed. Also, you may consider getting a Nikon 55-200mm or 70-300mm in addition to the 18-55mm.
Best,
Nick

Can I use Nikkor lenses that I use with my F3 on a D60?

The D60 is not the best camera if you will be using old, manual film lenses. It only auto-focuses with AF-S lenses and will not meter with manual lenses. If you are looking for full Nikon lens compatibility, and you are willing to spend $1K more, the D300 is the way to go.

Vinnie, the D40X will suit you just fine. If cost is a big issue, the D40 will work for you too. There is very little difference between the D60 and the D40X.

Is there a recovery lag when using the built-in flash? Seemed worse than my point & shoot in the demo camera I saw today at my local store.
