Nikon launched their entry-level D60 just days before PMA started, whetting our appetites as we sought to look out for this new model.

The D60 replaces the older D50, and promises to be a camera suited for those who are out looking for fun. As it is built small, like the D40 and D40x before it, the D60 can only accommodate AF-S and AF-I NIKKOR lenses, as these come equipped with an autofocus motor. The D60 also comes equipped with an image sensor cleaning function, creative shooting modes for a worry-free shooting spree, built-in Filter Effects and the ability to create your own Stop-motion movie. This easily makes it the most user-friendly entry-level camera there is to date. The D60 will be available in the US from February 2008.

Nikon was also proud to introduce a handful of new lenses: the Nikkor 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR ....

... the AF-S Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED and ...

... the PC-E Nikkor 24mm f/3.5D ED. These lenses further expands Nikon�s range of excellent optics, and offers professionals, enthusiasts and amateurs alike more choices.

This, however, caught our attention first. It's not often that you’ll get to see a dissected Nikon D3.

The new Coolpix cameras certainly did receive an upgrade as well. The S210 now comes in four unique colors - Plum, Graphite Black, Cool Blue and Brushed Bronze.

The new L18 comes in several colors to suit the general tone of your wardrobe too.
