I think its just so incredibly dull no one cares...
Obviously the P&S boys were let loose on the dSLR line.
I don't understand what is wrong with this, apart from being the wrong brand for this forum?Obviously the P&S boys were let loose on the dSLR line.
Quite impressed that Nikon emailed me about it on the day the press release came out.

After the D3 and D300 the D60 is just a little underwhelming , no? And pricing it to compete with the 450d seems plain daft.

I think it's fantastic. Nikon are to be admired for the products they're currently releasing, and the way they're going about advertising them.
D3 + tilt shift lenses = excellent news
Canon, WAKE UP!!

Uh how many TS lenses do canon have, 2 or 3...D3 + tilt shift lenses = excellent news

D3 is doing what the 5D did nearly 3 years ago.
And the 16-85 lens is what, the same as canons old 17-85 ( speed, sharpness etc)?
I'm not sure the D60 will compete against the 400d let alone the 450d.

Can't believe you are drawing comparisons between a brand new 3.5k pro camera and a 3 year old one where everything else was compromised to pay for the sensor.

Ah a good old Canon vs Nikon thread. 
And it was only this afternoon that we were chatting about the 'good old days' eh Simpo?
lol. I'd have a 1d mk3 if I could have afforded it And it was only this afternoon that we were chatting about the 'good old days' eh Simpo?
Shame it all gets a bit partisan when discussing models that happen to be from different brands.

I sort of see your point of view. I don't feel I need to even browse the spec to know I won't like it. Which is a bit sad of me, I know.I really don't want to be put off Nikon by finding out it's lacking in 25 perfectly useful features only to find it has one program that does something completely useless like tell you where the nearest fast food joint is. The D3 and D300 look so spectacularly good news for the big "N" that I just fear they're going to blow it
For the avoidance of doubt I'm a committed Nikon owner and the D60 is a fine camera. Probably. But I'm not sure they've got their model branding sorted... when I bought my D80 I wondered briefly why there wasn't a D60 - after all there had been D50s and 70s both with AF motors in the body. And now up pops the missing model - without a motor in the body.
Be interesting to see what the D80 follow up is branded as - or maybe they'll just run three DSLR product lines rather than the four they have now. Consumer (D60), pro-sumer (is that really a word? D300), and the pro stuff (D3) and drop the D80 line?

Wonder which dSLR will have face recognition first...
The d300 and D3 already have it. Can't say I trust it
