Hi, i'm from Brazil and I'm very interested in photography but here in Brazil it is very expensive to buy a good camera like this (Nikon D60), it seems to be a very good camera for beginners. I would like to know how much this camera cost there in the United States! Thank you very much!

i have a D60 and i really love it , it is a perfect second body for my D80. for the price (second hand) of 150 euro it is perfect. better than P&s of theat price , more versatile, i don't think that the lcd is small it is big enough and if necessairy you can zoom in on the photo to explicit detail also for hobbyist photographers like me

I've had a D60 for around 4 years and have always been very pleased with it; I often think I'd like a more advanced body (D300s/D7000 maybe) but still believe that it's having good lenses that's more vital, so my 16-85, 105 macro and 70-300 do me proud!
