Nikon D60 Camera
Nikon announced the new 10.2 megapixel Nikon D60 on January 29, 2007., it is a replacement for the identical D40x. Rather than creating an entirely new DSLR that’s a true “step up” from the Nikon D40x, Nikon settled on the solid 10.2 megapixel sensor that has made the D40x such a great camera and “upgraded” the rest of the camera to include next generation features like built-in sensor cleaning, built-in filter effects, Active D-Lighting (featured in the Nikon D3/D300) and 3D Color Matrix Metering II. Here is Nikon D60 Feature Highlights :
- Superior image quality and resolution
The D60’s image sensor utilizes 10.2 megapixels to produce high-quality images with incredible resolution, allowing you to make large prints. - Retouch Menu
The D60’s Retouch Menu offers many exclusive in-camera editing features like Filter Effects, Cross Screen, new Stop-motion, and other great features. - Active D-Lighting for smoother gradation
Nikon D60’s new Active D-Lighting feature can adjust the look of the final image while you shoot. - Integrated Dust Reduction System
The Airflow Control System used in the D60 leads air within the mirror box towards small ducts near the base, directing dust away from the image sensor. The Image Sensor Cleaning function also reduces dust accumulation near the sensor using specifically determined vibrations, which activate automatically or whenever the user chooses. This team of dust reduction countermeasures lets the user switch lenses confidently, taking advantage of the extensive lineup of NIKKOR interchangeable optics while worrying less about the effects of dust in the camera. - Intuitive, simple operation within an ergonomically designed body
The body design is inherited from the highly regarded Nikon D40 series. The bright and clear viewfinder ensures precise composition, while the large, 2.5-in. LCD monitor displays an easy-to-use menu system with a wide viewing angle so that anyone can navigate the settings and view images with ease. The new Eye Sensor function turns off the LCD monitor when the viewfinder is used. When the user moves away from the viewfinder, the LCD monitor turns on again automatically.
