The D60 was Nikon's budget entry-level DSLR of 2008: the pre-video era design reflects the period when consumer DSLRs were stills-only. The 10.2MP CCD sensor preceded Nikon's transition to CMOS across the line. The D60 lacks a body AF motor — only AF-S lenses (with built-in silent wave motors) will autofocus.
On the used market the Nikon D60 is very affordable as a vintage Nikon F entry-level DSLR. Condition checks: EN-EL9a battery health, CCD sensor for hot pixels, shutter actuations. No video. Requires AF-S lenses for autofocus (no body motor). Compatible with Nikon F DX mount lenses.
