The newest Nikon consumer level DSLR camera was announced today, the D60 is what I believe to be the replacement of the 10 month old Nikon D40x.
The Nikon D60 is designed to simplify camera operation and allow the photographer to concentrate on taking pictures. The camera’s simple, user-friendly design includes a reduced number of buttons and a combined monitor and information display.
Honestly, I didn’t see much of an improvement of this model compared to the D40x, not even the new kit lens impresses me. I don’t think that you need a VR (Vibration Reduction) for such a short lens (18-55mm).
I can say that these are the new features that impresses me:
- The camera was built on Nikon EXPEED® processor;
- The two-pronged method for combating dust accumulation on the sensor;
- The active d-lighting that helps maximize dynamic range
Like the D40/x, this new camera doesn’t have the built-in auto-focus motor, only with AF-S lenses that you will enjoy the auto-focus feature. The D60 retails at about €749.00 (around PhP 44,900) about PhP 10,000.00 higher than the D40x.
