Is the Nikon D60 a good camera for a beginner?

Answer by  elb (1105)

The Nikon D60 is a compact digital single-lens reflex camera with changeable lenses. It is an excellent camera and easy to operate for a DSLR, but more complicated that a compact digital camera (point-and-shoot). Many beginners start with a less expensive point-and-shoot and trade up as they gain skills.

The Nikon D60 a a prosumer grade camera, if you want something simple to operate you should choose a superzoom or a point-and-shoot.

If you the money for it, yes. It's always a good investment. A D60 is a camera you're going to keep for quite a while. The operating of a Nikon is pretty much straight forward, having easy access to menus and basic functions.
