This slr has a whopping 10 megapixel DX format CCD. the nikon EXPEED processing concept is per usual as in D300. it has 3D colour metering, 420 pixel sensor. it comes with new image sensor cleaning system. 3.0fps continuous shooting is one of the key features in this amazing piece. the nikon d60 is a good example of the current breed of dslr’s. in fact the d60 looks almost like the d40x probably doesnt help nikon’s public perspective on this model. nikons menu system has not changed much from from the d40x. its a great camera but im sure this piece has a lot of competition to look for because there are some drawbacks in the features.
