The D60 is a high-performance DX format digital SLR with a 10.2 megapixel resolution. Easy to use and easy to handle, it is the perfect way to explore the magic of digital SLR photography. Everyday situations can be trusted to the camera in AUTO mode, or you can try one of its many options for more creative control. In-camera creative features are easily accessible via an intuitive menu. Convenience is highlighted by a rotating information display that follows the orientation of the camera, a self-cleaning internal mechanism, and a sensor located in the viewfinder that turns off the monitor. With a near-instant start-up time and a small, light body, this camera is ready to go with you anywhere. The D60 – stunning photography is just a step away.
The D60 18-55 VR KIT includes the AF-S DX VR NIKKOR 18-55mm lens. Perfect for a wide variety of situations, this lens features built-in Vibration Reduction (VR) to combat camera shake and allow much slower shutter speeds (up to three stops) to be used.
I am looking into buying a DSLR. Can I use my dad’s Nikon AF lenses that he uses with his film camera with a Nikon DSLR? Thanks in advance!
Yes, but you will need to focus them manually. They will not autofocus on a D40, D40x or D60.
You will need a camera with an AF motor built-in to autofocus AF lenses. Consider the D80 which can be had for discounted prices these days or the new D90.

Die Nikon D300S ist das neue, bemerkenswert kreative Spitzenmodell unter den digitalen Spiegelkameras von Nikon, mit Bildsensor im DX-Format. Die D300S wurde für Profis und andere ambitionierte Fotografen entwickelt, die ein extra Mass an Beweglichkeit benoetigen. Sie vereinbart eine phaenomenale Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit mit rafiniertem Design. Auch unter widrigen Bedingungen ist auf ihre stabile Leistung stets Verlass. Die D300S bietet Funktionen zur Aufnahme hochwertiger Filmsequenzen in HD-Qualitaet in Stereo, mit denen Sie Ihre multimedialen Projekte im Handumdrehen verwirklichen koennen. Obendrein koennen Sie frei aus der unuebertroffenen Palette an weltweit bekannten NIkkOR-Objektiven oder aus dem Nikon Total Imaging System waehlen. Mit all diesen kreativen Moeglichkeiten sind Ihrer Fantasie keine Grenzen gesetzt. Die D300S….
Not the Nikon brand. Im looking for a little cheaper lens. Im no professional photographer. How do I find the ones that are compatible? Where do I look?
I definitely recommend that you stay OEM so you do not have any forward compatibility problems.
http://photoextremist.com/2009/11/4-reasons-why-nikon-sucks/ here is the original full length list of reasons explaining why the Nikon D300s sucks for the price of $1800.
Okay, but usually you can find a good used Nikon lens for about the same cost as a generic lens. If you have to go with a generic, look at Tokina … But you may find that the slight difference in cost between generic and the real OEM lenses is marginal.
My friend told me that I did not need to get a lens adapter because he said that his d40 is compatible with canon lenses so the d60 must be compatible as well. Is this true?
Well, not really.
An adapter to mount EOS lenses on to F mount Nikons could be made (or may be available already). However, the flange to sensor distance on Nikons is larger than that of Canons, so a Canon lens on an adapter can’t get close enough to the sensor to focus to infinity. You could still focus closer, which means that it would probably be decent for portraits and macro work.
Alternatively, an adapter with glass could be made, allowing infinity focus. You would lose a lot of the optical quality of the lens though, so this wouldn’t be a good solution either.
The reverse situation, Nikon lenses on Canon cameras, is easy to do. I have several adapters myself, although I don’t have any Canon cameras right now. Canon is nice enough to maintain stop-down metering with all adapted lenses, because there is no mechanical connection between the lens and the body (other than the mount).
