I got my D60 yesterday. This is my first digital SLR, I switch from EOS 50, so I might not tell anything new. Anyway, here my first impressions:
Pro:
• Lag is so short that I only noticed it the first couple of pictures. This thing just feels like a regular SLR. Amazing!
• “real” resolution and picture quality are incredible. No softness, no sharpening artifacts, no noise at ISO 100. Every pixel is pure information.
• Camera body is heavy and feels very solid.
• LCD is great, I love the histogram.
• Intuitive interface, great camera.
• Great dynamic range for a digital camera.
• Perfect skin tones.
Complaints:
• It’s damn hard to make sharp pictures:
The camera is insanely sensitive to shakes. I believe that there has to be an additional problem, not only the x 1.6 elongation one. I managed to blur a shot at 1/90 with a 50mm. This has never happened to me before.
The autofocus is terrible. My five year old $300 EOS 50 focuses way better. This is a known problem off the D30, I expected Canon to fix it. Microprisms or some other manual focusing aid would have been nice.
The resolution is so incredibly high you notice the slightest softness.
• USB 2.0 would have been nice.
• I´m broke now ;-)
=> Great camera. This weekend will be fun.
