Description

The Nikon N60 is an entry-level autofocus 35mm SLR that was popular during the late film era. It features a champagne-silver and black polycarbonate body with a built-in pop-up flash and multiple programmed exposure modes, including a "green" full-auto mode. It was designed to be user-friendly for beginners transitioning from point-and-shoot cameras, featuring a simple command dial and clear LCD top display. While it is a capable camera, it is notably incompatible with Nikon's newer AF-S (silent wave motor) lenses for autofocusing, requiring older "screw-drive" AF lenses. This unit is in good cosmetic condition and serves as a prime example of the high-tech, consumer-oriented SLRs that dominated the market just before the digital takeover.
