Overall, I consider the Nikon D60 a "good, but not great" digital SLR. While entry-level buyers will enjoy its point-and-shoot features, I think more experienced photographers will frown on its overprocessed photos, mediocre set of manual controls, and autofocus lens support. I think there are better entry-level D-SLRs out there, but the D60 is still worth looking at.
What I liked:
Photos have accurate exposure, low noise levels, and minimal purple fringing
Solid construction; feels better in the hand than the competition
Dust reduction system
Large, bright, and sharp 2.5" LCD; shooting data well presented on the main LCD, with fairly easy access to common settings
Full manual controls
Speedy performance in most areas; good continuous shooting mode
Effective (but slow) Active D-Lighting feature
In-camera RAW editing
Dedicated AF-assist lamp
Redeye not a problem
Useful features for beginners like D-Lighting, redeye removal, assist images, help system
USB 2.0 High Speed support
What I didn't care for:
Images are oversaturated, and on the soft side
Limited selection of AF-S lenses means that many Nikkor lenses (mostly primes) will not support autofocus
Missing some features offered by competitive cameras: bracketing, DOF preview, live view, more than 3 focus points
Viewfinder on the small side
Active D-Lighting brings camera to a crawl
Poor RAW image editing software included
JPEGs saved at Basic quality in RAW+JPEG mode
No battery grip available
Flimsy door over memory card slot
Video cable not included; AC adapter is way overpriced
