Nikon Imaging Korea launched its new entry-level DSLR ‘D60’ which is equipped with 10.2M CCD image sensor and EXPEED image processor.
The D60 is smaller than your average dSLR, just like the popular Nikon D40. The 10.2M cam comes with the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR image-stabilizing lens included.
It’s practically an instant-on camera, with an 0.18-second startup time. Users can crop, retouch, and edit photos in the camera with its onboard editing apps, and the camera can even create stop-motion films by sequencing up to 100 consecutive shots. Nikon says the ‘Stop Motion Movie’ mode is a first for digital SLRs.
The D60 uses Nikon’s Expeed imaging processing engine to enhance photo color and tone, as well as 3-D Color Matrix Metering II, which the company says makes automatic exposure adjustments to low-light shots. The camera can capture RAW-format images, which can be resized and edited within the camera.
Another interesting feature is the camera’s dust-removal system; it literally shakes dust off the lens and has something called an Airflow Control System that blows dust particles away from the CCD sensor.
In addition to SD cards, the D60 also supports two of the emerging trends of this year’s CES and PMA shows: Eye-Fi cards and high-capacity SDHC cards. The Eye-Fi card can transmit images directly from the camera to a computer over a Wi-Fi connection, eliminating the need for a USB cable.
No pricing information for the D60 has been announced yet, but Nikon says the new dSLR will be available on 22nd February.
