Summary: Great pics if you learn the ropes
Comment: The color, subtle contrast/tone changes, and pixel rolloff on this are much more natural than the canon or kodak I've owned in this price range. That's why I got this unit. Sample pics at one site were almost identical to the D60 shots. Light is the difference though...this has a lot less glass. I fixed the frequent blurr by switching to center focus (not face) and fixed the motion blurr and got lower ASA by spreading a tripod short-legged (even when not planted) for dim shots. Once I worked with "P" mode for focus, ASA, exposure, etc. I got some outstanding shots. To move beyond point-shoot at a lower cost takes work, but this gives me that real natural color and contrast subtlety. Only Nikon and Fuji seem to do that. Fuji is still a bit sluggish. Nice shirt cam, super if you fiddle in P mode and steady things. I always MUST have electronic viewfinder...that's a big seller in the sun!

Summary: Good enough to buy again
Comment: I purchased this camera in March and really liked how the pictures turned out and the fact that it's compact, light weight and takes very good pictures, especially high-resolution close ups. My fiance liked it a lot as well and took it to Kenya for three months. The camera mysteriously disappeared from his possession after two months. So we decided to purchase another one. We use the rechargable AA batteries, which last much much longer than the regular alkaline ones. Very nice camera for the price.

Summary: Nice features but poor quality
Comment: The Nikon P60 has really nice features for the price: it has a handy (electronic) view-finder (that isn't painful to use because you don't need to squint like mad), useful 5x zoom and helpful optical image stabilization (VR). However, to me, the deal breaker was the fact that it uses the ubiquitous AA cell instead of an expensive proprietary battery. This is great for traveling - if your batteries die, you can get replacement AA's just about anywhere.
Having said these, the biggest issue I have with the camera is its quality or lack there of. I had the P60 for less than a month and it doesn't work anymore. It has never been dropped, always in a padded case when not in use, and since it is the wife's camera, it is normally in a nice, big purse. It complains about a `lens error' and I can't take pictures with it; I can, however, view some of the pictures though - yea, big woof. Someone at Nikon seriously botched the Quality Assurance (QA) on this thing.
I had another Nikon years ago, the Coolpix 4300, and its quality was abysmal as well; should have learned my lesson, or Nikon should have replaced its useless QA personnel(s) so that the P60 would be a bit more reliable.
On the other hand, just before owning the P60, I had the Casio EX-Z120 compact camera. It was as tough as a brick - the case is completely made of metal. It was used all over Asia, dropped numerous times (even on cement), and missing a couple of screws, but for almost 2 years it never let me down until it was lost/stolen.
I greatly lament buying Nikon compact cameras; should have bought Canon, or another EX-Z120. I can only take solace on the fact that Nikon may honour their 2 year warranty.
