Nikon F60

[Virgin Blue]

Hi all

I've been given the opportunity to purchase a Nikon F60 for $200 from someone I know but to be honest with you I don't know diddly about cameras . Is this a good camera?

At the moment it only has a piddly little zoom but i'm sure I could get a good one if I looked around. The camera itself is in very good condition so there's no worries with that.

Is this a good price for this camera?
Does it take good qaulity pictures?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Chris

It will take as good a picture as you want it to, if you know how.

I had the F60 before I got my D100. I never han any problems with it and I took about 6000 pictures with it (paper prints) Its a good camera and it takes good pictures. If bought in Denmark the price is okey

Plus don't cheap out on the lens, buy the best you can afford. I got the F60 too (N60 in the US) its has a very solid construction and takes good pictures. Just keep in mind if you want to upload images here, you will also need to consider the cost of scanner, film & film processing and some kind of photo editing software.

Read a book about basic photography, it will help you out a bit.

If you can go in an extra $100, I'd highly recommend the F80 or N80 (same thing). It has many more features if you want to seriously pursue photography. See www.nikonslr.com
