Hi i’ve got a D60 and can say it’s a very good camera it its price segment. I’m using the kit lenses 18-55 vr and 55-200 vr aswell as some old lenses my father in law gave to me.
All Nikon lenses (only a few exeptions like specials etc) from i think ’78 will fit modern Nikons. Don’t expect them all to AF because the D60 needs AF-s lenses. Also metering and apeture often don’t work but still you can do all this manualy and get great pictures.
About the VR that would only be good below 300 mm. I never heard off it. I’m looking for a Sigma 150-500 myself and never read or heard about any problems in the stabilisation system.
The only “problem” with the D60 is the auto dim function off the display. You can set it to auto dim when you put youre face against the camera. When this is on the display flickers on and off in bright sunlight. There is an update for this problem but you can also shut off the auto dim, that what i did.
