Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera is the very first 35mm SLR camera with a self cleaning function. This mechanically engineered mini-cam features pentaprism mechanism, auto focus lens and instant return mirrors.

Still experience the annoying shot delay and blurred images with your camera? Then, it is time for you to replace it with the Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera. This digital camera has all the ability that you are looking for in a camera. If you want a versatile camera that responses fast and gives you outstanding image quality, the Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera is perfect for you.

For one, it features 10.2 megapixels resolution. This means you can enlarge and crop images without having to worry about square-shaped picture elements appearing in the image. It is also equipped with Nikons 3D Color Matrix Metering II. This will help you shoot good images under bad lighting conditions.

Like all other Nikon cameras, Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera can be used with the other Nikkor lenses. These lenses have all the quality that Nikkor is famous for.

But the most amazing feature of this camera is that it can clean itself. It uses vibrations to steer dust away from the optical low-pass filter in front of the sensor every time you turn the camera on or off. This Integrated Dust Reduction system function can be activated and deactivated manually.

Dusts and tiny particles are one of the problems photographers usually experience. These degrading materials can destroy images. The dusts and tiny particles can attach to the filter or can be seen by the sensor, thus, destroying the quality of the images. So, Nikon added the Integrated Dust Reduction System in the Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera.

Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera has two ways of cleaning itself. It uses Airflow Control System and Image Sensor Cleaning function. Airflow Control System works by leading air within the mirror box towards the small ducts, which is located near the base. So dusts and tiny particles are prevented from going in to the image sensor.

The other one is the Image Sensor Cleaning function. Originally built for the D300, this functions as a dust minimizer.

Another addition to this remarkable camera is the eye sensor. The eye sensor instantly turns off the information display on the LCD whenever you look through the viewfinder. This means that you do not have to push a button or the screen to remove the information on the screen if you want to take pictures.

Like what I mentioned earlier, taking shots with a bad lighting condition is not a problem. This camera, like the other Nikon digital SLR cameras, has Active D-Lighting. Just activate this function before you shoot. It will automatically correct scenes in difficult lighting conditions.

Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera is light and compact. It was designed ergonomically to give you comfort while shooting. With its 2.5 inch LCD monitor, you can turn the display format from Classic to Graphic. Aside from its self-cleaning function, it has a bright and clear viewfinder and a built-in flash. With Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera, you can enjoy all of these features and more.
