This is my 3rd Camera. My first one was a Nikon Coolpix 4200 and then the Nikon L series and both of them were excellent camera. I have been wanting to buy a DSLR camera since a very long time and finally settled in for the Nikon D60. The product continues to amaze me. Its a very good entry level camera, good sturdy body, the auto lense cleaning meachanism is awesome. Pictures are just swesome if taken using the correct setting. Auto mode work just great for anybody. The futher advanced folks might wanna play around with the PSAM modes. I am a happy boy and love my new toy! Nikon is just awesome, overall its a GREAT camera, great product. I would certainly recommend this camera if you are looking for a sturdy, feature packed, great quality picture producing DSLR.

As soon as I took the camera out of its box, I was amazed by its small size and portability. I cannot get enough of its bright green color! Unlike my other digital camera, it has an excellent low-light performance for its price. I love some of my pictures I took of city skylines at night! In addition, I enjoy the feature which allows me to take two pictures at a time with different ISO's. Finally, I love the picture-protect feature which prevents me from accidentally deleting a picture, as well as the fact that the specific picture mode I set my camera to doesn't return to AUTO as soon as I turn the camera off. Get it!

Love this camera. Being a photographer I was looking for a point and shoot for little days out. The quality of the images are great. I am very happy with the product and thrilled I did not buy the newer version for a lot more money.

This is a great camera for the price. I bought it for the movie capability. I ride a dirt bike, and this is a great small camera that I can take along on rides and record movies. The movie quality is good, and with a 4GB memory card I can record 156 minutes of video. This camera is small enough to fit in your shirt pocket, and takes great pictures and videos. I paid $139 for this with no sales tax and free shipping. Bestbuy sells these for $159 plus sales tax. This is a great buy!

I just got this camera. I bought it because it is small, light weight and has 10MP. All of those qualities are great. However, the delay in taking the picture outweighs the other benefits. I will get it focused and push the button to take a picture and wait and wait before it takes the picture. If you want to capture the perfect expression, this is NOT the camera for you. If you are like me, you pictures of your family will have the puzzled, "you mean you haven't taken the picture yet" type of look. If you just want to capture the larger picture of what is going on and it doesn't really matter when you take the picture, it would be a fine camera.

This camera takes exceptional pictures. Very sharp. The Auto Focus is a
life saver. It is light and very easy to handle. It has editing which really comes in handy for the amateur photographer. This camera is perfect for portraits & weddings.I love it!!I tried four other cameras, (the Canon, the Rebel,) and this one is by far the best in picture quality. If you looking for a Amatuer's Camera.....
THIS ONE IS IT!!!

I have been a HUGE fan of Nikon cameras over the years, especially their digital line. I bought their first DLSR and that has served me well.
I bought the S550 for my wife so she'd have something small to put in her purse. She was out of town recently and came back with a ton of pictures, almost all of which were somewhat grainy or blurry. I thought it must be the diminutive camera size and that my wife might've been experiencing a slight bit of camera shake (the S550 is a bit tricky to hold completely steady and compose a picture). But camera shake would explain blur, but not grainy.
Well, I took the camera and took shots of this and that and then compared it to my Canon Powershot A610 (5 Megapixels). I took shots of the same items with both cameras and was...well...shocked! The clarity on the A610 was significantly better.
Wish I had performed this experiment when I first purchased the camera. Would've returned it.
Why did I give it 2 stars instead of 1? Well, it's cute, 5X optical

This Nikon product looks cool but only from outside. The image quality is really poor for a 10MP resolution. My 4 MP Fuji takes way better pics.
Day and night mode are equally bad. I will not recommend this to anyone.

I have been a Nikon user for years. This camera was to replace my Coolpix 3700, which is about 5 years old. After snapping a few shots right out of the box and seeing them on my laptop I was a little weary about this. Then I compared it with my 3700 (3.2MP) vs the 10MP of this and there is noticeable difference; this one make worse pictures. The features are great, but overall quality of the construction is inferior and picture quality is inferior.
I have read a lot of reviews and based on that chose this camera over the Canon SD770. Beware, when you are reading reviews make sure it isn't from someone who has never owned a point-and-shoot, like most people on circuit city's reviews.

I purchased the Nikon D60 because everyone I know that owns one has raved about it. My concern was, if it was easy to use, as I'm technology challenged. This camera is fantastic, so easy to setup and use, not to mention the pictures are of professional quality. I've always been a Cannon fan, but I have switched in mid-stream and now I'm sold on Nikon. I'm taking more pictures and having so much fun with this camera. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

I've had the photograpy bug for a little over 40 years. I started out with a Nikkormat FT in high school. 15 years later I bought a Nikon FM. I still own both and they still work just fine. I've owned several point and shot cameras along the way also but have wanted to make the jump to a DSLR for quite some time. I had a wish list for quite a while that originally had the D40 but updated it to the D60 when it came out. My loving spouse took the list, did some research of her own and surprised me with a D60 kit containing the 18-55 & 55-200 VR DX zooms for my birthday in August. What a keeper I married :)
I have to say that I am absolutely happy and amazed with this great little digital beauty. It works great with my older Nikkor lenses and the 2 DX VR lenses are wonderful too.
The various "auto" modes work great when you want to let the camera do some, most or all of the work, OR need a quick shot and don't have the time to do more than compose. The manual mode allows complete

Before I say more, I'll tell you I haven't downloaded my pics yet onto the PC, will add to review after.
I'm coming from an HP Photosmart R817, this Nikon is a very close relation to it! Before I had 5x optical zoom, and 5.1 mp - very happy so far. When taking pics with Nikon pics look grainy on-screen, once you press shutter button, face detection waits a bit to make sure subjects open eyes, then takes pic. After a sec. the pic is clear on screen. Flash seems plenty strong for about 5-10 ft.
Enjoy!!

Actually I won't be talking again about the specification because all of you already know it. The D60 is my first DSLR camera I'm actually wasn't into photography that much, I just bought it because i asked a friend i want to take a quality pictures for my family because i had a regular annoying Casio camera which makes dots/noise in the pictures and ruins the moment of the photo, Any way he told me do you want the same photography as you see in the magazines or billboards i said yes i actually thought that all those pictures was like impossible and you need like i dunno graphic designer to do the work for you to make it so clean and sharp as they look and MAN I WAS WRONG..
1st day i bought this camera i took my 1st shot and i was like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW i never had a DSLR camera before i hate taking pictures but with this camera the first week i took over 13,000 pictures can you believe that awesome camera awesome quality and the help menu tought me a lot about photography i didn't even

I chose this camera as I wanted a camera that could take good quality shots, was fast to start up, easy to use and small enough to carry around easily.
I think this camera is all of those things. I travel alot and find this nikon great for carrying around in a pocket / bag without taking up any real space.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons.
1)It doesn't take AA batteries. My last camera did and I found that very useful when it ran out of juice in a foreign country or if I simply didn't have the charger with me. Simple solution though... buy a second battery, which I did relatively cheaply on Amazon.
2) I had the camera only a week or two when during a family wedding the camera had a bit of a melt down. I know these family things can be stressfull but ....
Basically every picture had dark black lines horizontally across the screen for a while and then after a few more photos the colour went funny and it wouldn't even focus.
In saying that, Amazon exchanged it immediately

If you are torn between the D40 and the D60, pick the D40. It has 95% of the functionality of the D60 and it's much cheaper. Both cameras share the biggest limitation of not having an Auto Focus motor and only 3 focus points so you're likely to outgrow both at the same time. At least with the D40, you'll have a much lower investment while you learn about photography. Don't get me wrong, both take great pictures given the right conditions and lenses, but don't under-estimate the lack of an AF motor.
If you have D60 money, I would STRONGLY recommend getting the D80 instead. It may cost a little more, but you will quickly pay for that if you purchase the 50mm 1.8 lens that actually does autofocus on the D80 plus countless other older AF style lenses that do not AF on the D60 or D40.
Again, the reason why I'm giving the D60 3 stars is not about the picture because it is a good camera, but it's very over priced as of this writing. Once the D90 comes out, the D60 will be Nikon's starter

I have owned several different Coolpix cameras and have always loved them. They are very easy to use and take the best pictures of any camera I've ever owned.

I did quite a bit of research before deciding on this camera. The majority of the reviews were excellent. There were a few that were scary. Now i realize why. This camera is a great camera if you are willing to put the time in to learn all it has to offer and how to use it. It comes in cool, fresh colors which may be one of the reasons that people felt mislead. Although cool looking this camera is a sophisticated piece of equiptment capable of producing some great pictures for the average person, but it does require you to read certain portions of the manual or you will not be satisfied with the results.
One criticism i read related to the fact that it did not take great low light pictures. Well if you don't adjust the camera to suit those lighting conditions then you won't be happy. However push two buttons and get into the right mode and you will find that you can take some of the best low light pictures around. You can't just drag the camera from the beach, to the museum and then to

MADE IN CHINA! Fast start up, but SLOW shutter. Small size, very pocketable. I have a Canon 790 IS, 3 inch lcd, out performs this S600 by leaps in all respects, and is made in Japan. Also, the S600 battery charger is cheapo corded unit, most up to date chargers are directly pluggable to hang on an outlet.

This is a great camera, and don't let anyone tell you it's only for beginners. The images that the D60 produces easily rival that of more expensive cameras. When you spend less money on the D60, you are sacrificing a few bells & whistles but not necessarily image quality.
It has all the manual settings you'd expect in an SLR and a very easy-to-navigate (and nice-looking) menu system. The LCD screen is big and bright, and the viewfinder is great as well.
What it's missing (at least when compared to higher end models) and why you don't necessarily need those things:
- No auto-focus on non-AF-S/AF-I lenses. Unless you already have a bunch of old Nikon lenses, this shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure any lens you buy in the future is an AF-S or AF-I.
- No Live View. This is only just becoming standard on higher end cameras and on the ones I have tried I have found it very "clunky" anyway. "Live View" is a hallmark of compact point & shoot cameras, and I think that's where it belongs...

Got this camera for the wide angle lens, Nikon name and small size only to be sorely disappointed. The pictures are great, don't get me wrong, and I agree with the other reviews. However, as you can see there are one or two people who rate this camera very negatively. They are right, and I suspect that others who would rank this Nikon very low are just not bothering to write. If your fingers are just the right size I bet you'd find the scroll wheel very handy to navigate all the features. I just find it a clumsy solution to what Panasonic has done so much better. It's difficult to switch modes as you have to use the wheel to identify on the display screen if you want portrait, bright sunlight, no flash etc. You might say that the camera takes care of most of these functions automatically and to a degree you'd be right. Except of course for those situations that you would need this otherwise fast start up camera to listen quickly to what you would want it to do! And here's the other thing:
