Nikon D60 is considered as entry-level SLR camera. Featuring 10MP image sensor, the expected price of D60 starting from $630 (body only). It comes with 2.5-inch TFT LCD, and built-in flash. For the rest of features please visit dpreviews.com.

it’s still one of the most affordable cameras in its class and it represents the perfect ‘upgrade’ camera for anyone who has outgrown their digital compact camera and is looking to dip a first toe in the world of the digital SLR. Its output is consistently good (the JPEGs are excellent and its raw files have lots of dynamic range headroom), it’s a pleasure to use and, handles well and weighs very little. And as I’ve stressed throughout this review, it makes getting pleasing results incredibly easy.

As a successor of the D40X, the Nikon D60 comes with minor upgrade. It has the same sensor resolution at 10MP, the same external look, but it has some new features including Dust Reduction System, Active D-Lighting, an Eye Sensor, new interface, Nikon EXPEED processing ‘concept’, and New stabilized AF-S DX 18-55 mm kit lens.

The D60 takes the successful formula established in the D40 / D40X and, well, if we’re being honest, doesn’t do a great deal with it at all - the leap from D40 to D40X was a lot greater than the step up from D40X to D60 (even if Nikon’s naming convention might seem to imply the opposite). There’s a few nice new features, and bundling the new ‘VR’ (stabilized) version of the kit lens is a smart move that makes the whole package a lot more appealing, but it’s fair to say that the D60 is a subtle upgrade rather than a wholescale reinvention of Nikon’s entry-level best-seller.
