 <center>this one costs 40k in Trinoma wyl, 30k in Hidalgo</center> KEY FEATURES: - 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.
- Fast Startup and Split-Second Shutter Response: With fast startup and split-second shutter response, the D60 eliminates the frustration of shutter delay, capturing moments that other cameras miss.
- Shoot Continuously at up to 3 Frames per Second: Capture sports action, precious moments and fleeting expressions at up to 3 frames per second, for as many as 100 consecutive JPEG images.
- Active Dust Reduction System with Airflow Control: Nikon's Active Dust Reduction System activates automatically, along with Airflow Control technology to reduce the amount of dust that reaches the sensor.
- Easy Operation with Intuitive Controls: Intuitive controls and an onboard HELP Menu System with Assist Images make the D60 truly easy to use, enabling everyone to capture beautiful memories perfectly.
- Nikon's EXPEED Image Processing Concept: Nikon's original digital image processing concept, EXPEED, comprehensively optimizes pictures, shot after shot.
- 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.
- Nikon's Smallest Digital SLR Ever! Beautifully styled, the D60 makes high-performance digital SLR photography easier and more convenient than ever. You'll be amazed at the power packed into a camera that weighs just over 16 ounces.
- 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.
- Fast, Accurate 3-Area Autofocus: The D60's advanced 3-Area AF system and the refined algorithms inherited from more advanced Nikon digital SLR cameras deliver fast, efficient and precise Autofocus. AF refinements deliver greater precision with fast, more consistent subject acquisition and improved focus tracking for consistently sharper pictures.
- In-Camera Image Editing and Enhanced Retouch Menu: Highly versatile in-camera editing features through the Retouch Menu include Nikon D-Lighting, Red-Eye Correction, Image Trim, Image Overlay, Monochrome (Black and White, Sepia and Cyanotype) along with Skylight, Warm Tone and Color Balance filter effects. New effects and controls include Quick Retouch, NEF (RAW) Processing, Cross Star and Color Intensifier filters. This provides greater creative freedom without the need for a computer for those who prefer to send pictures directly to a printer.
- Stop motion video: Creates a stop-motion animation from a sequence of images for added creative fun to your pictures.
- Up to 500 Images per Battery Charge: The supplied EN-EL9 rechargeable battery will allow for shooting up to 500 images per charge based on CIPA battery testing standards.

what I don't like about Nikon is its outer surface.. hindi xa kasing smooth ng canon.. babaw noh?
 | nikon? ehe.panu magpost ng image sa blog? |
 | Generally, the more expensive the camera is, the better it is. I'm talking about tech and specs. Pay more and you get more. Sure, you can't go wrong with either model but you really have more to work with with the 450D. :) |
 | jphotog wrote on Apr 17, edited on Apr 17 We just want to throw something in this conversation... First of all patience is the key.. Research more about the camera that you would like to buy. Do read reviews and forums they help a lot. Here's a link that will surely help you decide. D60 - http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d60.htm450D - http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/rebel-xsi.htmAnd pls remember one important factor when it comes to photography; It's never about the camera, it's always been about the photographer. It's like giving a noob archer an high end bow and arrow...you complete the sentence. Richard is right when he said that when you buy something expensive, expect to get more. But the question is, do you really need more? I mean these cameras no matter what you choose will definitely overwhelm you. Invest on good lenses not the dslr body. :) We hope we shed some light. Goodluck gurl! (hint: the 450d and the d60 are nothing compared to Nikon's D40) |
| hahahaha! yea! tama ka dun! lolx |
 | louie2x wrote on May 1, edited on May 1 I've owned Nikons for years, even if you put all the specs aside, Nikons are still sexy. I will go digital soon and will choose this brand. BTW, D80 is out on the market and JD Power & Associates give Nikons the highest ratings. |
 | buy the nikon d40 and invest in lense. it's a good entry level dslr. yun muna gamitin mong pang practice & experiment then upgrade ka sa nikon d300 or canon 40d :) |
| louie2x wrote on May 8, edited on May 8 Ei, kbe20. I hope that I don't rain on your parade, but I just got done talking with my colleague, and he mentioned that he had to return his D40 sometime ago. His complaint was it tends to exaggerate the photos. i.e He took shots of his OLD swimming pool, but it looked brand new in the pics. Same results with his other subjects. Well, I guess it depends on your personal preference and that could be a good thing. I was going to point it out before that CCD (together with its processing system) in cameras were not all created equal. Different manufacturers have certain signatures. With the film based cams, most often all you had to do was change film brands. You're stuck with the CCD (or CMOS) in the DSLR. Good luck. |
| Hey, I just bought the D60, and yes it does enhance the images if you use the Auto and Program mode. I guess Nikon wants to make it amateur proof. I have not fiddled with manual settings yet. I'm currently on vacation and so far it has not disappointed me in taking quick shots of not well lit surroundings. It costed me $689 on sale at a military store in San Diego, but the memorable pics I took were priceless. :) |
 | d40x or d300 the best.. invest and install hot lenses on ur dslr.. |
| hmm no more...w8 where ka nag tnung i think mern pa a... d40x i think 28k or 27k...only.. |
 | sa trinoma.... and mega wala na phased out na daw huhu |
| expensive dun..dnt buy sa mga malls nt wrth it hihi.. w8 what du like b? nikon d..?? |
 | hi, im using a d80 now..its really really a good camera to use.. but for your first dslr, a nikon d40 would be great.. tried it already, and its a very very good camera considering how much it costs.. performance wise, the best! then try to invest in lenses.. that's the best thing i think you should do... try to visit this link for prices.. :) http://digitalprinting.multiply.com/thanks! |
 | It's really a matter of preference sis. But, as far as i'm concerned, NIKON definitely rocks. Canon is great but, biases aside, Nikon performs better than canon, in terms of their hi-end counterparts. I saw a review between the D3 and Mark III, guess what, NIKON proved itself:) hahah!! Go for the D60, then invest on the lenses-which are far more important. |
| color ng 40D sis hehehe! Sa Quiapo? hehe! aus:)
or kung meh relatives ka na nasa labas, mura lang dun, d300, meh kit lens na 18-200mm... it costs around 90k? dito, body lang yung 90k... and buying a lens na 18-200, would sum you up to 130K.. haaaay! that's what I'm planning right now:) |
