Nikon introduces the new D60 digital SLR camera, to provide stunning picture quality and versatility in an easy-to-use, compact camera design. The New D60 Digital SLR joins Nikon's award-winning line of D-series digital SLR cameras and shares a form similar to the D40 ? Nikon's smallest D-SLR camera ever. With 10.2 effective megapixels and a wealth of innovative and user-friendly features, the D60 enables both photo enthusiasts and those new to digital SLR photography to capture incredible images like never before.
The Nikon D60 is often compared against Canon Digital Cameras for good reason. The Nikon D60 would compete against the Canon Rebel. Which one would be better? This is a bone of contention. The two cameras are very close in features; but the one thing that might decide you on the Nikon would be the Active D-Lighting. This feature automatically adjusts areas where either too much light or not enough light might cause inadvertent image loss. This feature helps you get good tonal rendition and great highlight and shadow balance. On the other hand, the Canon has Live View, which means that you can compose your photo in the rear LCD like you might be used to doing with a point and shoot camera. The Canon also has a larger LCD screen.
