NIKON D60 - taking pictures to reviewing?

Rencently my camera has become extremly slow at letting me see the image I have just taken. For example, I will take a picture then the camera will automatically show me the image with in seconds of taking it. Now it is taking a very long time to show me the image, it shows the green light flashing and the little icon saying it's 'loading' i assume.

My question is, this has not happened in the past, but just starting happening now. I have tried changing settings but no luck there, could it possibly be the memory card (8GB) although I do not have a large amount of images already on it, it is also becoming increasily hard to produce a stop-motion as it is extremly slow.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, I appreciate any answers very much.

That blinking green light tells you that the camera is still writing the image to the memory card, so it's not a matter of slow display but a matter of slow writing. I will assume that you are using the same memory card you used before the problem started. Memory cards DO come in different speeds and you do not want a slow card. You want 30MB/sec (200X) or faster for decent performance.

I hate to mention the obvious things, but it's a start. Is your battery getting low on charge? Did you change the file size from small to large? Are you shooting RAW or TIFF?

The less obvious things would be a change to something like adding a comment to the image, using Active D-Lighting, noise reduction, using image verification…

It also occurs to me that you might be having this trouble outside. It's getting cold out there and that will slow things down, too. Keep your camera close to your body when it's not up to your eye to keep it warm.

It may be time to dump all of the images to your hard drive and format the card so you start with a clean slate, too.

Clean the images off the card to your computer and then (after checking to be sure you have everything safely backed up!) reformat your card in the camera.
