Nikon D60

Nikon keeps cranking out new D-SLRs, most recently with the D3 and D300 and now, building on the great success with their amateur line-up of the D40 and D40X, the new D60. Sporting 10.2 megapixels (same as the D40X), the D60 has the lightweight and portable feel of the D40 series, with some extra tricks up its sleeve.

Foregoing LiveView, which seems to be featured in most new D-SLR cameras these days, the camera incorporates a dust reduction system that “flows” air within the mirror box to prevent it from settling on the sensor and a sensor cleaning function that uses vibrations to shake off dust on start up.

Another nice touch is how the camera automatically turns off the back LCD when you bring the camera to your eye, and how the LCD read-out panel switches to vertical when the camera is so oriented.
