About this model
The Nikon D60 is a lightweight, easy-to-use DSLR aimed at first-time DSLR buyers. Its 10.2-megapixel DX-format (APS-C) sensor delivers much better low-light performance and background blur than a compact or phone camera. The included AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm VR lens adds Vibration Reduction to help keep handheld shots sharp, and covers a versatile everyday zoom range. The D60 has a 2.5-inch LCD, an optical viewfinder, and a simple control layout with helpful on-screen hints. It uses SD/SDHC cards and the EN-EL9 battery. A great value way to learn photography with Nikon's F-mount system.
