Nikon D60 vs Nikon D40x - Which one is right for you? 

Nikon D60 vs Nikon D40x

a spin off from our ealier post about d80 vs d60 vs d40x

Now comes the simple comparison of the Nikon D60 and the Nikon D40x, in my earlier post, i mentioned that the D60 seemed more like a upgrade of the D40x, a polished version.. having the same 10.2 MP count, same sensor, same ISO sensitivity, storage media..  here is the difference, the D60 has the dust sensor cleaning unit, white balance bracketing, and improved LCD display.

  • The D60 comes with a VR Kit Lens.
  • D60 has an orientation sensor
  • Nikon D60 orientation sensor
  • the D60 sports a wider viewfider to block out the flare.
  • Differences between d40x and D60
  • notice the dials below the d60 is made out of metal while the d40x is still plastic
  • Comparison between Nikon D40x and D60

The Bonus feature of the D60, is that it has the Stop-Motion Movie Feature!

The D60 wasnt built from scratch..  it adapted the best features on the D40x and added a few more neat features like the kit lens thats already VR, the Stop Motion Movie Maker, the better viewfinder, orientation sensor, white balance bracketing and the dust sensor cleaning unit!

Is it worth it? yes if you are looking to upgrade to a newer model, skip the d40x and jump to the Nikon D60… if you are coming from the D40x, i dont think its worth the move to upgrade for features that are not that significant a jump from the D40X.. we are into photography and not movie making!

As I said in my earlier posts…

Nikon D60 - For the new kid on the block (going with new technology and features)

Nikon D40x - For the Budget and Quality conscious newbie that wants good quality photos.
