Camera – Nikon D60

A couple of days ago I’ve bought a new camera, a Nikon D60. Although I was considering a D40 after hours of net research I’ve decided that a D60 would be a better solution for me. The price difference between them was approximately 100E.

For around 460 Euro I got a Nikon D60 body + Nikon 18-55 II lens (no VR ) + 2 Gb SD card + Nikon bag + 6 months subscription to National Geographic + BONUS a cleaning cloth and 3 LCD protection screens.

With out turning this into a review I want to mention why I chose the D60 over D40. First of all was the sensor resolution (10 MP vs. 6 MP – I know that I won’t make big prints to use those 10 MP but still …). Then was the dust removal system which I believe could be very useful in some situations. Then followed all the other new features of the D60 (active d-lighting, a stop-motion recording mode, orientation sensor, in camera retouching etc ).

There are 2 thing I don’t like about this camera (but not that necessary ) : only 3 auto focus points and no AEB.
