    Great Answer

    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    The Nikon D60 digital SLR is a compact and versatile entry-level camera that's designed for the photo enthusiast. Easy to operate, it's packed with a host of user-friendly features and it takes great, high-quality photographs.

    10.2 Megapixel Sensor

    The D60's 10.2 megapixel CCD sensor and 3-D Color Matrix Metering system allow you to capture brilliant, high resolution images, with consistent exposures. You can also shoot RAW images with the D60, which allows for greater control when processing your digital photos.

    18-55mm Auto Focus Lens

    The D60 kit comes with an 18-55mm auto focus lens that features VR (vibration reduction) image stabilization. This allows you to shoot with much slower shutter speeds at lower light levels and still capture sharp photographs.

    Low Shutter Lag

    With slow shutter lag times being the bane of many consumer end digital cameras, Nikon greatly improved in this department with the D60. You're able to fire off shots in about a tenth of a second after you press the shutter, which means you won't miss capturing action and fast breaking scenes.

    Fast Continuous Shooting

    In continuous shooting mode, the D60 can fire off three frames per second. This kind of speed offers great possibilities for photographing action and sports, and for capturing fleeting moments and expressions.

    Large LCD Screen

    The D60's 2.5-inch LCD screen shows nearly 100% of the image frame and displays your photos clearly and with accurate color, even in bright sunlight. The display also allows you to view the histogram so that you can check the exposure and tonal range of your shots.

    Lighweight

    Weighing in at just less than 16 ounces, the D60 is Nikon's smallest digital SLR. It's ergonomically designed polycarbonate body and metal alloy frame offer lightweight and durability to the amateur or casual photographer who is looking to get more serious about digital photography.
