Some of the things you can look for in the D-60 are the built in sensoring, cleaning and filter and the very same features that made them a watchword in cameras, such as the Active D Lighting and the Color Matrix metering from their D3 and D300.
Among those things you’re going to see in the Nikon D-60 model are:10.2 megapixels; Image Sensor Cleaning System; utilization of JPEG, NEF file formats; Nikon F lens mount; auto and manual focus features; auto and manual exposure settings; ISO 100-1600; and SD memory cards, SDHC compliant.
