Head to Head: Nikon D60 vs. Pentax K2000 at DigitalCameraReview

Looking for a head to head comparison of two great DSLR cameras? David Rasnake at DigitalCameraReview has put the Nikon D60 and the Pentax K2000 to the test to find out that most DSLRs are "basically without exception, all quite good".

From the review:

What makes up the perfect consumer-grade DSLR? Ask ten potential buyers and you're likely to get ten different answers. But there is one thing that a majority of first-time DSLR buyers seem to hope for in these cameras: reduced size and weight. If you're coming up from most point-and-shoot models, your average entry-level DSLR seems downright huge by comparison, and market research conducted by various manufacturers in the last few years suggests that concerns about size and weight are one of the primary reasons cited for choosing not to upgrade to an interchangeable lens camera.
But DSLRs don't have to be so intimidating. Over the weekend, we wrapped up our review of the compact 10.2 megapixel Pentax K2000. We were so impressed with this very manageable DSLR's credentials as a travel camera, in fact, that it only seemed natural to do a little investigating, Head to Head style, as to how this camera stacks up against one of our favorite compact DSLRs of all time – the similarly speced Nikon D60.

Check out the full review here.

If you want to buy one of these, you can head to my Amazon store to buy the Nikon D60 or the Pentax K2000.
