Frast Response… Creative Versatility… Oustanding Image Quality

Nikon hands over the vanguard technologies you would anticipate from a digital SLR — fast response, creative versatility, and breathless image quality — while wiping out complications and frustrations so that taking pictures is gratifying and stress-free.

Established on 90 years of optical expertise and decades of award-winning camera innovations, the Nikon family of cameras addresses every type of picture-taker — from hardened professionals to travelers on holiday.

The Nikon D60 Digital SLR is the most recent example of Nikon invention, translating complex engineering into a fun, potent and easy-to-use camera. 

10.2 Megapixels Resolution

With 10.2 megapixels, the Nikon D60’s image sensor delivers high-resolution pictures with rich, faithful color and detail that are ready for stunning enlargements. It also gives you the freedom to crop pictures exactly as you want them. And with Nikon’s 3D Color Matrix Metering II, you can expect attractively exposed pictures under almost any lighting circumstance, with Nikon’s original digital image processing concept, EXPEED, comprehensively optimizing your pictures, shot after shot.

Nikon D60 Digital SLR Highlights

Every time you turn the camera on or off, this function uses vibrations to steer dust away from the optical low-pass filter in front of the sensor (deactivation and manual activation are also possible).

Nikon engineers have also dealt with dust and other tiny particles in many other ways to prevent such image degrading material from attaching to the filter or being seen by the sensor when you are taking pictures.

With all these measures in place, you can concentrate on getting the shot while exploring the wide array of Nikkor interchangeable lenses that a Nikon digital SLR opens up to you.

Nikon’s Integrated Dust Reduction System

Nikon Integrated Dust Reduction System Dust in front of your camera sensor can mean distracting spots on your pictures. That’s why Nikon does everything to ensure clear pictures, including minimizing the build-up and appearance of dust.

Nikon’s exclusive Airflow Control System is one of the two main protections against dust. It leads air within the mirror box towards small ducts near the base, preventing internal dust from settling in front of the image sensor.

The Nikon D60’s second form of defense is the Imaging Sensor Cleaning function, which was originally built for the D300.

Eye Sensor The Eye Sensor activates every time you look through the viewfinder, turning off the information display on the LCD for comfortable shooting.

Active D-Lighting

Rich, Smooth Detail with Active D-Lighting Sometimes, even a perfectly exposed scene will not render an ideal photograph. With difficult lighting conditions, important details can be lost in the highlights and shadows. But with Nikon D60 Active D-Lighting, the D60 can correct these exposure issues instantly and automatically, while you shoot. Simply set Active D-Lighting before you start shooting. Active D-Lighting is available when “Matrix” is selected for metering.

Compact, Light and well-situated The Nikon D60 is compact, light and set up to go wherever life takes you. The D60’s size isn’t the sole ingredient to consider; its configuration is ergonomically designed to fit in your hand naturally and comfortably.

Nikon’s experienced technologists know that working a camera shouldn’t trouble you. That’s why each button and texture on the camera’s exterior has been cautiously considered for the most efficient and flowing operation conceivable.

Display Format selections 

The information display in the 2.5-inch LCD monitor allows you check crucial camera information rapidly and easily. Decide whatever display format conforms to your taste best: each of the Graphic and Classic formats have three color variations to suit your preferences, while wallpaper uses one of your own pictures as the background.

Graphic format uses visual displays to show shutter speed and aperture, as well as the mode dial every time you turn it to a new setting.

The Nikon D60 even recognizes whether you are holding the camera horizontally or vertically, and then automatically displays camera information on the LCD monitor accordingly.

Bright… Clear… Optical Viewfinder

The Nikon D60’s bright, clear optical viewfinder is also configured with the user in mind, its helpful indicators and intuitive icons helping you achieve ideal composition with the optimal settings.

Nikon’s Intelligent Built-in Flash — Simply Brilliant Proper flash lighting used to require skill, time and patience.

With the Nikon D60, however, flash photography is simple, instant and accurate. Thanks to Nikon’s cutting-edge i-TTL flash technology, all the complicated calculations happen automatically, giving you balanced flash illumination under almost any conditions, even difficult lighting situations such as backlit subjects.

With Auto mode, you just point, shoot and let the camera do the rest. It’s that simple.

Quick responses, captured moments, amazing moments can pass by quickly, but the NikonD60’s fast 0.19-second startup, split-second shooting time lag and fast, accurate autofocus capture more of these moments with precision. The camera’s high-speed continuous shooting also helps capture fast-moving action at up to 3 pictures per second for as many as 100 (JPEG) pictures.

Intuitive Menu Navigation The Nikon D60 lets you alter settings and functions in a lot ways. For all the options it offers, the menu is still surprisingly simple and intuitive, with navigation made easy thanks to a carefully considered design.

If you are ever unsure about a specific feature or function, simply press the O button for detailed information. It’s like having an onboard instructor to answer your questions.

Nikon D60’s Assist Images Function

The Nikon D60’s convenient assist images help you select appropriate camera settings. These useful reference images help explain the effect that each function has on your photos — very helpful for exploring new features and making the most of the camera.

Creative shooting is just a quick turn away With the D60, you will always be geared up to shoot a extensive variety of subject matter. Just turn the mode dial to fit your shooting situation and beautiful results are yours instantly.

A wide variety of in-camera Retouch Menus Even after a picture is taken, the D60 offers ways to explore your creative thinking further. With a wide range of picks to choose from, the quick, simple and extensive Retouch Menu allows you to create a duplicate image with amazing photo effects, leaving the original picture intact. And it’s all done in-camera — without the need for a computer.

Quick Retouch… Saves You Time 

The right touch — Quick Retouch Sometimes you want to make sure that your picture has the best balance of contrast and saturation. For this, choose the Quick Retouch feature. It creates an automatically retouched copy that has been optimized for better-looking pictures.

Original animation — Stop-motion Movie Want more fun out of digital photography? Try making a stop-motion movie from a series of sequential pictures. Merely select the first and last frames from a sequence of shots.

You can easily re-edit before saving it as a movie by changing the starting image or removing specific images. There are also several size and frame rates to choose from.

D60’s In-Camera NEF (RAW) Processing

Anticipate much more from your pictures — In-camera NEF (RAW) Processing Nikon’s D60 NEF (RAW) format lets you enjoy an incredible amount of creative freedom and control over camera settings — even after the actual shot is taken.

If time is tight or you are unsure of which setting to use, it’s even possible to shoot first with NEF (RAW) and make adjustments later. That’s right: you can take pictures, and then change the image quality, image size, white balance or even exposure compensation. All operations are quick, simple and do not require a computer.

Wait Till You See Nikon D60’s Filter Effects!

Explore further — Filter Effects The Nikon D60’s Filter Effects let you experiment with color and light. Each of the Red/Green/Blue Intensifier effects let you enhance the color of your choice.

Try the Cross Screen feature to create starbursts radiating from scene highlights. For other options, use Color Balance to modify the entire image, or experiment with Skylight and Warm Filters.

Accessory Recommendations for Nikon D60?!?

Posted by admin in September 4th 2010    under: Nikon D60 Accessories    
  
4 Comments

I have been taking a lot of senior & engagement photos here lately and though my style is more to the artistic side I feel like I am having to make up a lot of ground in Photoshop.

I am looking for any tips/ accessory recommendations anyone might have! I have a UV filter that I use, are there any other things I should be clued in to? Thanks for all your advice!

PS I AM reading up on a lot of stuff, I just can’t quite seem to find the information that I’m looking for. Thanks again!

I agree that you NEED an off camera flash. The SB-600 is what I shoot on my D60, and it’s a great piece of equipment. I’d pair it with a Half Cloud Lightsphere from Gary Fong. This thing throws beautiful light everywhere,

http://www.amazon.com/Gary-Fong-GFLSUHALF-Lightsphere-Universal/dp/B00192QJYY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1271999123&sr=8-1

The AF-S 50mm f1.4 will be a great portrait lens on the cropped sensor. I use the 35mm f1.8 and (more often on portraits) the cheap-o AF-S 55-200mm f4-5.6 lens. It actually makes a decent portrait lens,and it is unbelievably sharp for any price.

Suggest a bag that will fit Nikon D60 and laptop?

Hi, I got Nikon D60 and 14" laptop. I was wondering if there’s any of you that could suggest me a good backpack (2 straps for both shoulders bag) that will fit both items plus accessories for the D60 (memory card, extra batt, etc) and also laptop (mouse, extra batt, power cord and plug). It will also be good if it can fit in some books, personal toiletries and water bottle.

I hope to have an easy access for the camera, so I could just put it in and out as quick as possible. Not too fuzzy about the price but of course the cheaper the better, thanks.

check out the MobileEdge line of backpacks. www.mobileedge.com

they have a lot of quality bags

Will lenses for an old Nikon FT2 steel body fit a Nikon D60 or will I need an adapter?

Posted by admin in August 26th 2010    under: Nikon D60 Lenses

Im wanting to buy some old Lenses off ebay… But im not sure if i need an adapter ring and the seller isnt sure. Can someone help me out?

They will fit, since both cameras use "F" mount lenses.

No adapter is necessary.

The problem you will have is unique to entry level Nikon cameras (D40(x), D60, D3000 and D5000). They are designed to be used with AF-S Nikkor lenses. AF lenses can be used on your D60, but will have to be manually focused. Manual focus lenses can be used on your camera, but you will not be able to use the cameras light meter.

Any of the more advanced Nikon cameras (D90, D70, D50, etc) can use older legacy lenses (of course you will have to manually focus them)

Question about external lighting for a NIkon D60?

Posted by admin in August 24th 2010    under: Nikon D60 Accessories    
  
2 Comments

I want some lighting I can control for when I take pictures on my camera….is there any camera accessories specifically for this?

So do you mean something other than a flash?

Perhaps something like the Lite Panels? These were really designed for video cameras, but can work with DSLRs also, but range is no where near as good as with a powerful shoe mount flash such as the Nikon SB900.

Are the VR lenses on the Nikon D60 worth the extra money over non VR lenses?

Posted by admin in August 19th 2010    under: Nikon D60 Lenses

There is a 2 lens kit Nikon D60 going for $800 at a major retailer but they are non VR lenses. The same camera withVR lenses is $200 more. Is the extra money worth it for the VR lenses?

Nikons VR works very well. It compensates for camea motion so it is of particular worth when you are shooting lower light and the camers has a slower shutter speed or when you have a longer lens where there is lens shake. As to the slower shutter speed it will let you shoot a couple settings lower handheld than you normally can. I would personally say its well worth it. But everyone has to decide that by themselves

Does this look like a good Nikon D60 deal?

I think it looks great! is that just me, or is it good?

http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-D60-Digital-55-200mm-Accessory/dp/B00154OHM2/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1247279162&sr=1-6

and is the D40 better than the D60?

That looks like a good price on a good entry level kit. As to the D40 vs the D60 the D40 give you better tonal range, dyanic range, geometric accuracy and color accuracy with less noise due to larger pixels. The D60 give you some functions the D40 does not and a few more megapixels. Both are good entry level cameras.
Here is the DXO mark comparison on output to show the image quality results I spoke of were extablished by testing and not solely my opinion.
http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/eng/Image-Quality-Database/Compare-cameras/(appareil1)/229%7C0/(appareil2)/196%7C0/(onglet)/0/(brand)/Nikon/(brand2)/Nikon

Personally I think the D40 2 lens kit is one of the best buys out there for the new photographer today ( my opinion not an established fact) but that does not in any way take away from the D60 which is also a good camera you could be happy with either

Help With Nikon D60 flashes!?

Posted by admin in August 10th 2010    under: Nikon D60 Accessories

i own a nikon d60 with the following lens:

-Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens
-Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens
-Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR
-Cosina 70-210mm f/4.5-5.6 MC AF Wide Angle Telephoto Lens

i would like to do sports and like nature photography and also portrait like graduation and wedding photography

i would like to know what flash could get that would be wireless on its own tripod with a umbrella that i could shoot remotely with my Nikon d60 ? what accessories would i need to shoot witlessly?

Nikon D60 doesn’t have commander mode built in. To trigger the flash you’ll have to attach a unit to your camera that permits this. Two simple options are – SU-800 (wireless commander) or a SB-800 speedlight which also has a commander mode.

I don’t suggest SB-900 due to its cost.

For the remote flash, you can use any of the flash units featuring a remote function. Cheapest among these is Nikon SB-600.

Once you have a the necessary equipment, just set them to the proper modes, The channel and group should be same (which has to be set on the units).

You can add more flash units on the same channel and group to fire wirelessly.

Does the Nikon D40 camera take better pictures than the Nikon D60 camera?

Posted by admin in August 4th 2010    under: Nikon D60 Cameras

I own both a D40 & D60 and the older D40 seems to take much better pictures, The colour’s in the pictures seem more "Punchy"
My question is this….. Is this my imagination or does the older Nikon D40 take better pictures than the D60
Thank you for your answers.
Sometimes newer is not always better.

the d40 is a great camera and takes better pics than my 12mp canon of similar vintage. The d60 was given more megapixels and thats all you get. The ccd is the same size and there is a lot of noise from it due to the virtual doubling of it. Ditch the d60 and do a proper upgrade to a d5000 or something
