N6006 vs. N60
J. A. Cline
N6006 compare to the N60? My main camera is a N90s that I just recently
bought, and I want something there for me "just in case," because you never
know, eh?
Any opinions?

you lend to your girlfriend when she needs to borrow, or the one you use
when your real camera falls in a lake, God forbid. But seriously folks. I
FINALLY after 10 years graduated from my N6006 to an N90s, and said N6006 is
in less than sorry shape... It's been WELL used over the years. I'm
debating between buying a new (or lightly used) N60, or a used N6006. Any
opinions?

low light with a long lens. I would go for the N70 for the price. Visit

Hi Jac,
The focusing modules are the same for the two. I own the F601 (N6006)
only, I find it a compact but robust camera in its price range. The
built-in flash (non-D) is very accurate. Price is lower than N60, has
more features e.g 3 focusing modes, auto-bracketing, flash compensation
and (my favourite!), it accepts a US$5 traditional cable release.
Hope this helps.

I think you should stick witn N6006. It's much versatile.
It can use manual mode more easily.
It meter with non-AF lenses.
It operates simular to N90s, which I think is important for
a backup camera... for you.
Of course, the ideal back-up camera would be ANOTHER N90s...

I use a F60 (same camera) and I think it works nicely. But, it can't be a
backup to a F90s, because it has far less features. If you have any AF-S
lenses, they won't work with the F60 (but not with the 6006 either). There are
some other features that may (or not) be important to you, like no DX ovveride,
no remote shutter and no metering with manual lenses. This camera is "AF-only",
so to say.
Other than that, it works and handles *very* well. Its ergonomy might mpress
you more than anything else Nikon offers and its metering and autofocus works
splendidly. It would be a good compromise between a useful Nikon SLR and a
advanced P&S...
Anders.

Forgot to add in:
N6006---Up to 2fps, 2 shot self-timer, variable self-timer from 2-30
sec, exposure compensation in 1/3 ev steps (N60=1/2),
rear-curtain sync flash (but N60 has red-eye reduction), err...no
"cheesy" vari-programs with flower, girl, running man icons :P

Get the N6006 if you still can. Not because the N60 is bad but because
the N6006 is very similar to the N90s in use. It also has a lot more
'nice' features than the N60 - spot metering, bracketing, flash
compensation, manual ISO setting, rear curtain sync, ability to meter
with manual lenses and standard cable release. The pluses the N60 has
over the N6006 is a nicer user interface (especially in manual
exposure model IMHO), slightly faster AF, technically better matrix
metering, aperture and shutter speeds in 1/2 steps and manual exposure
analogue scale that goes +/- 1.5 EV (The N6006 goes to +/- 1 EV only).
BTW, the N6006 also doesn't use AA battery - it uses 2CR5, which is
more costly than AA, so you need to factor this in as a backup
requirement.

Some people have commented on the battery consumption of this model.
What is you experience with this?

Get the n6006/f601.
I hav use it for 6 years and no regrets.
It may be slow in AF but semi-pro features are there and it is quite similar
to the f90x/n90s.
hav fun

About 20 rolls. With AF on a "super" lens (28-200mm) on single AF mode
on single servo drive. Used flash 20% of the time.
