I purchased the Nikon D60....received it yesterday and already have over 100 pictures taken! It's extremely easy to use for beginners (being me) and it came with many of the accessories one needs to get started. The start up instructions are easy to follow. This is a great camera....I'm just waiting on my 55mm-200mm VR lense that shipped today. Do your homework finding a good camera...if you're a beginner, the VR lenses are wonderful.

This is a great camera and a great package. It has all the professional tools, and they are very accessible. This is the camera for the person that wants a great SLR, but don't want to pay a huge amount of money.

This camera is perfect for me. I used to have semi-professaional non SLR Olympus, but it broke down after heavy travel. I took a lot of pictures, but although I could adjust the aperture, iso, shutter time etc, it was a bit too cumbersome for me. The result was I almost always went with the predefined programs. With the D60, this is a lot easier, and now I always adjust these values as needed. It is also a much better camera.
If you are a professional or an advanced amateur photographer, you can still take very good pictures with this camera, but you probably want to go with one of the higher end, where controls are even more accessible.

About the package. Its great that it comes with 2 lenses. When taking pictures indoors, the 18-55 is adequate most of the time, while outdoor you often like to zoom in a bit, the 55-200 is good. Personally I switch back and forth a lot, so a 18-200mm would great, but its another $500, so this is still by far the best deal for me.

One of the best features, is that you can take really good pictures indoors, during the evening, without flash. This is really great,

I purchased this camera for my hubby for his 52nd birthday! He loves photography and has always been strictly film, Minolta 7000 35 mm cameras, all the lenses, filters, etc. He kept color in one and black and white in the other. We used to own a photo studio with mini lab. Here he had control of the photo processing instead of now having to depend on the kids at "Walmart" to produce the true quality of his photos. Because of where we live, unless we sent his film off somewhere and hoped it made it back, we were stuck with this processing. Our teenage daughter got a Kodak Easyshare digital camera for Christmas. My hubby was pretty impressed with the quality photos she could create. But he still felt there was something "not right" about digital. He felt he would lose his control and creativity. Plus I knew he would'nt be comfortable holding such a small camera. He needed the feel that he was really holding on to something. The Nikon D60 was the answer. I was scared when he opened the box, that he wouldn't kile it or that I was trying to take away his film, but he LOVED it!! He was like a little kid with a new toy. He's been playing with it ever since. He loves eveything about it. The way he can manually focus, change colors, crop and all the other things it can do. He is very happy and I'm happy for him. The 35 mm will always be there just in case, but I think we've changed him to digital now! Thank you
