... I went for this product [Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm AF-S VR Zoom Lens + Nikon 55-200mm AF-S VR Zoom Lens + 16GB SD Card + EN-EL9 Battery + Case] after a few weeks of on-line research and after having read several camera reviews.
I am returning to Nikon-brand after about 10 years of using other brands and honestly I feel a bit disappointed at the general feel of the quality of the Nikon equipments nowadays. The camera itself is OK-ish but everything seems to be made of cheap "recycled-toy" plastic and gives impression of being a "disposable" product. The camera itself is technically fine though, with its Nikon 18-55 lens, it is quick, responsive and easy to use. However, the other lens (55-200) does not give the impression of high quality very much. Having said that, if I were given the opportunity to re-do mu purchase I would only buy the "camera and 18-55 lens only" and not pay for the other (mainly unwanted)stuff included in the package. Beside the camera, everything else included in the package can be bought later if/when needed. Generally, When you buy a package you pay for accessories you might not use at all and the things you get in the package are probably of the lowest quality and cheapest on the market). Furthermore, in the package I bought, the camera case is too big for the camera and all its accessories. When you put the camera in the case, you have to put something soft on the top of the camera (such as an old T-Shirt) to keep it on the place. The bag feels very bulky when you travel. The battery might be unnecessary for someone (like me) who is not a heavy camera user. The SD-card and card reader: I could have ordered 2x8 or 4x4GB SD cards which made the total price much lower than one 16 GB. And finally, you can live without the other stuff included in the box such as a peace of fabric, (presumably to clean the lens with; I won't) a CD, a SD card wallet ( don't need), and a card-reader(my laptop reads all sorts of card. I think: you won't need or may not use many of these accessories so do not pay for them. They are just box-filler and eventually hurts your wallet. ...
