Nikon today announced the D60, touted as one of the smallest Nikon DSLRs. The 10.2-megapixel SLR follows the D40x, released in March 2007. It features a faster shutter response, in-camera editing, and an advanced dust reduction system. Pricing has not been announced for the D60, although it will be released next month.
“The Nikon D60 makes stepping up to digital SLR photography easy for anyone, but is also a wonderful choice for photo enthusiasts looking for remarkable performance in a compact package,” said Edward Fasano, general manager for marketing, SLR System Products at Nikon, Inc.
The D60 doesn’t appear to bring too much more to the table than the D40x and earlier D40. It has the same megapixel count and many of the same features, including Nikon’s 3D Color Matrix Metering II, which helps balance colors and contrasts for clear, detailed images. It features Nikon’s EXPEED processor, a speedy autofocus system, and a 0.18-second startup time. Read the whole article here
