I used to be a big fan of simple digital cameras, but as I took my photography further and further, I found the need for an SLR. I read many reviews, and found two cameras which are probably two of the best SLR digital cameras nowadays; the Sony A300 and the Nikon D60.
The A300 by Sony is priced quite reasonably and comes with a number of great features. Some of these features include auto-focus as well as image stabilization that is built in the camera, thus it does not depend on the lens. The cameras LCD screen also offers live preview for users, something that the D60 does not offer. This is quite a big advantage the A300 has over other SLR cameras because you generally do not find live preview on SLR cameras. The camera also offers many more focus points, even more than the D60. Nonetheless, the D60 does have its advantages. After going stores and trying out both of these cameras next to one another, I went with the D60. There are many reasons as to why I picked it. First of all, the D60 is much more compact, and lighter in comparison to the A300. The lens was also much more appealing and comfortable to my eyes than the Nikon. The LCD menu was much easier for users to navigate through which was a big plus. The last major reason was that there are many more lenses available for the D60. When picking a DSLR camera, you must consider whether you will want to buy new lenses in the future. Many lenses do not fit certain cameras. This is why I chose the D60, aside the fact that Nikon is much better known for its cameras then Sony.
I eventually ordered my D60 via Amazon, which was a great choice on my part. Amazon allows you to get credit (yes, money) within 30 days. If the item you bought goes down in value within 30 days of your purchase, you will be credited. As well know, the prices of cameras are always going down, so in the end, I won! Nonetheless, Amazon will not contact you when the price of the item goes down. It is up to you as the buyer to check. It is definitely worth it though. You can put the money you save towards a lens for your new camera
As for my personal experience with the D60 so far, it is great. I am not the only one, and I have many friends who have it and love it to. It is a very comfortable camera, very easy to use, especially for beginners. The only problem is that it clearly will not fit in my pocket like my old digital camera. Nonetheless, it is not nearly as big as I thought which is great. The lens has vibration reduction which I find is very useful. Often times my friends use my camera, and I always here this exact line; "I want to buy one"! It is a camera that is very well known, and whether you're a pro or a beginner, you will not be going wrong buying it.
