Terranboy Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'm planning of buying a D60 this month for a start. Do you guys think that a 10MP is enough? Have no plans of making this a hobby. I just want to take pictures of my kids and weekend activities with them at the same time have decent pics to treasure. I read somewhere that a D60 has 3 frames/sec. And I thought that I won't be needing higher models than D60 for now (considering my budget too). How much is a 200m telephoto lens costs these days? Can someone post links or pics taken with a D60? Thanks in advance. Bro, try to check "shutterbugs" group thread under hobbies, have some photo post there with my Nikon D60..... I've bought with dual lens kit 18-55 and 55-200.....

E-poc Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Bro, try to check "shutterbugs" group thread under hobbies, have some photo post there with my Nikon D60..... I've bought with dual lens kit 18-55 and 55-200..... Thanks so much! i've been surfing the net for a dual lens kit within my budget and im planning of getting a 55-200 too since its alot cheaper than 18-200. i just wonder whats the big difference between 18-200 and 55-200? alot of readers say that they prefer a d40 than a d60? why is it so, i hardly find any difference between the two except for the built in dust cleaner. I'm down to choosing my system and that's between a d40 and d60. I hope to get some insights from our fellow readers. Quote Link to comment

Bro yun lang yata dust cleaner ang difference nila between D40X and D60, yun D40 mababa yata ang pixel nya vs D60..... You can check nikon.sg site para ma check mo ang price difference para meron ka nag reference in terms sa price...... Quote Link to comment

You can check nikon.sg site para ma check mo ang price difference para meron ka nag reference in terms sa price...... I checked kenrockwell's site today and he was able to convince me to go for the D40 over a D60. According to him, D40 will make a good print of 20x30". It's more than sufficient for me since I'm just planning to use it with my family and I have a tight budget. My sole purpose for now in buy a DSLR is to capture the growing moments of my "twin". :heart: But, thanks to all the inputs and answers to my inquiries. It really helped me alot in deciding which model to choose. E-poc Quote Link to comment

E-poc current D60 have 18-55 zoom lens kit that is already VR (vibration reduction) & the price range is about P25-26t in hidalgo the only edge of D60 over D40X is EXPEED image processing & dust reduction D40 is 6MP, smaller to 10MP of D60 & D40X Quote Link to comment
