Default For Sale - Nikon D60 with 18-55 VR lens

As above really. It's a great camera and has served me well. Most of the photos I post are taken with it, including the winter pics I posted a few weeks ago.



I've upgraded to a D7000 now.

Here's the Nikon web page for the specs.

http://www.europe-nikon.com/en_GB/pr.../2010/d60-body

The lens is a wide to mid zoom, very sharp and the vibration reduction system allows really low light shooting with no flash.

Together, they make a super package which will serve you well. Both in very good condition, charger and lens cap still with it!

I'm after £200 for the kit, not willing to split them. Postage extra at cost.

Pete

Where did you take that picture Pete? Is it the Thelwall viaduct? Nice contrast between the cold snowy bit and the sunny bit in the background.

Not that I know much (meaning "I know naff-all") about photo composition!

Yes, it's the Barton Bridge near the Trafford Centre.

This is a good one too

It's awesome Anna. You need really good glass though or it'll show up the lens deficiencies.

The controlability is intuitive and just... Right. I've always had Nikon, wouldn't change now.

I've no intention of ever updating he D7000.

Buy one whenever you can.

Pete

ohhhhhhhhhh cant wait now, I am making the update with the video in mind as well so really looking forward to getting my hands on one.

D60 was my first camera and we have had some good times with some amazing results, £200 is a steal for this little camera!

Just spent £200 on...
