Nikon D60 Digital SLR Review

February 2nd, 2008

Nikon’s new compact digital SLR, the Nikon D60 continues to tradition of the D40 and D40x as a professional, technically superior, compact digital SLR. Although Nikon continues to innovate this camera still has 10.2 megapixels, the standard for such entry-level digital SLR is right now which puts this camera between the D40 and the D80 digital SLRs, and uses the EXPEED image processor for smoother tones and more accurate colors and Nikon’s Multi-CAM 530 AF auto-focus sensor. The LCD turns off when the camera senses that you are using the optical viewfinder.

The D60 also has an anti-dust system called Airflow Control System. This sucks in air and directs it at where dust may be sitting and then uses an Image Sensor Cleaning function using vibration to clear up any remaining dust. The camera features in-camera image editing and effects and filters, capture into RAW mode, and a stop motion mode.

All in all the Nikon D60 Digital SLR is a high quality DSLR targeted towards budget or entry-level photographers with an easy to use interface, quick and easy changing of modes using the dial, in a compact body that fits well in the hand, a quick .2 second power up, a nice viewfinder with 2.5 inch LCD screen and can come optionally with the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II lens or the AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens.

The Nikon D60 Digital SLR will be available this month.
