Easy to use and handle, is the ideal tool to learn the joys of photography with a digital SLR. Adopt the automatic mode for shooting classic or use one of the many options available for a creative depth.In many respects, the D60 is a clone of the preceding D40x model. As we'll see though, the Nikon engineers have added a number of new features and enhancements. The combination probably isn't enough to entice D40x owners to upgrade, but owners of the 6-mega pixel D40 might want to, and the Nikon D60 makes a really excellent entry-level model for those just making the move to an SLR.The most important changes are inside, including the arrival of EXPEED and a new system for dust control air flow in the darkroom. A device remit which retains some highlights of the D40x as the 10 Mpix sensor, the D-Lighting, the extent of exposure color 3D II. Of course, the integrated optical stabilization in the housing is (and probably never will) not on the agenda. To counter the offensive Pentax, Olympus and Sony in this field, Nikon offers a kit with the new 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 VR (optical stabilization).

Features of Nikon d90 SLR Camera

• Extraordinary 10.2-Megapixel DX-format Nikon Picture Quality:
  
  Nikon's high-performance, 10.2-megapixel DX-format CCD imaging sensor and exclusive EXPEED image processing concept provide added cropping freedom and the ability to make larger prints.
  
  
• Includes AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR (Vibration Reduction) Image Stabilization Lens:
  
  NIKKOR lenses are famous for breathtaking sharpness and faithful color. With Nikon's fast, accurate autofocus and Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization technology built in, pictures are even sharper, free from blur caused by camera shake when shooting hand-held.
  
  
• 8 Digital-Vari Program Automatic Shooting Modes:
  
  Eight Digital Vari-Program Modes include: Auto, Auto Flash-OFF, Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports, Close Up and Night Portrait; each of which adjusts automatically for optimal results for everyday shooting situations. Each mode considers lighting conditions and possibilities, aperture, shutter speed, white balance, hue, tone, sharpening and more to make creative photography as simple as rotating the mode dial.
  
  
• 2.5-Inch, 230,000-Dot Color LCD Monitor with 170-Degree Wide-Angle Viewing:
  
  Playback images are easy to see and function menus are easier to use with a larger and brighter color LCD monitor. The large 2.5-inch LCD monitor enables image preview at up to 19 times magnification and has large type fonts with easy-to-view menus. Auto rotating LCD display provides automatic horizontal and vertical graphic display orientation.
  
  
• Advanced HELP Menu System with Assist Images:
  
  The D60's Assist Images help you select the appropriate settings for many camera features by showing an example image typical of that setting, as well as an advanced HELP Menu for the current item selected. The D60's Question Mark icon indicates that help is available for the currently selected item; just press the HELP button beside the LCD monitor to see a context-sensitive HELP page.
  
  
• Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II:
  
  The D60's 3D Color Matrix Metering II evaluates each scene for brightness, color, contrast, size and position of shadows and highlights, selected focus area and camera-to-subject distance, comparing that information against an onboard database of more than 30,000 actual photographic scenes. The result delivers instantly and precisely determined exposures for each scene, even in challenging lighting conditions.
  
  
• Image Optimization Options:
  
  The D60's Optimize Image setting lets photographers adjust color, contrast and sharpening, as well as other image settings, according to the type of scene or output desired. Settings include: Normal, Softer, Vivid, More Vivid, Portrait, Custom and Black and White, each of which are automatically adjusted based on sophisticated Nikon algorithms or user-selected settings for optimum results.
  
  
• Built-in Speedlight with i-TTL Automatic Flash Control:
  
  Nikon's innovative i-TTL flash control evaluates flash exposure with incredible precision to achieve better automatic flash balance and deliver outstanding results. The built-in Speedlight is always ready to bring beautiful exposures to darkened conditions, as well as add sparkle for fill flash in outdoor situations for enhanced twilight shots or an added impact to daylight images. In low-light or back-light situations, added illumination from the built-in Speedlight can make the difference between an average snapshot and a dazzling picture.
