1. The D60 is a bit long in the tooth for a digital camera. It might be time to think about upgrading. I am saying this as I recently took my D300 out for a spin! The D60 is a fine camera and still capable of capturing great photos, but for noise/ISO performance, it is old technology (as is my D300!). 2. The Nikon D60 is a "sucker" camera sold mostly to people who are not professional photographers, but who are impressed by meaningless megapixels. Megapixels have nothing to do with picture quality. The less expensive D40 is the same thing as the D60, but better. The D40 is the professional's vacation camera. In my possession, I will have a borrowed D60, tripod, and two Nikon lenses the 18-55mm and the 55-200mm. I will NOT have a remote release so bulb is not going to be possible. What's the best camera for around $2000? This price point gives you access to some of the most all-round capable cameras available. Excellent image quality, powerful This camera features 10.2 megapixels, a shooting speed of 3 frames per second, and a CCD sensor type. It uses an Expeed processor, has a DXOMARK score of 65 for the sensor, and an APS-C sensor size. The Nikon D60 is compatible with Nikon F DX lens mounts and has an aspect ratio of 3:2. However, it lacks image stabilization. Many of today's Nikon digital cameras (DSLRs, Z series, Nikon 1 and COOLPIX models) feature an interval timer built-in. A good starting exposure for most star shots is to use the widest aperture on your lens, expose for 20 seconds, increasing the ISO as needed for a good exposure. The D60 images were exposed using flash, the 40D images were exposed to a large degree by ambient light. Trust me, if you could return to that exact same night, dial down the ISO to 200, and set the camera to use 1/90s at f/5.6 with flash, the images would have the same color as the Nikon images. 2TMY1.
