Nikon Coolpix S60

Nikon’s got a number of new cameras it announced this week. One which has some really nice design cues and tech features is the Nikon Coolpix S60, priced at around $350.

The Nikon Coolpix S60 is a 10-megapixel shooter in a compact body form. It sports a 3.5-inch touchscreen LED for controls and digital image display. The touchscreen, in fact, handles all controls, according to Nikon, except for power and shutter release. One example of this is the ability “to lock the autofocus and exposure on a subject by simply touching the corresponding location on the LCD screen.”

Nikon unveils upgraded, compact D60 SLR

Nikon D60 10.2 megapixel Digital SLR CameraNikon threw out a new digital SLR today with the D60, basically a repeat of the D40X we saw earlier last year with some nice added features. This camera stands out as one of the smallest, most compact SLR models on the market with the same 10.2 megapixel image processor as its predecessor.

Some nice features in the D60 that can’t go unnoticed include the Retouch Menu for in-camera editing of images and the Stop-motion feature that lets you string together a number of still JPEGS to create a stop-motion animation. A fast shooting mode brings the ability to shoot 100 JPEG stills at 3 frames per second, which is pretty fast but still a little behind the 12.2 megapixel Canon Rebel with 3.5 fps.
