Battery & USB Charging
Third party batteries are available that are much less expensive than an OEM Nikon battery. Even better is that newer third party batteries have built-in USB charging. That’s good because the D60 cannot charge the battery via the USB port.
The USB port is for slow data transfer only. A memory card reader will be the fastest and they are usable by phones.
