Drawing with light
From Nikon F75 to Nikon D60 [15 years younger]…
I no longer have to spend money on film for my film SLR camera from now on as I’ve got a new Nikon DSLR D60. This new model was publicly announced by Nikon early this year, a new product update to its successful D40X, which was released in March last year.
Although I’d been looking into Canon EOS 40D for quite some time, I’ve come to my conclusion to get Nikon DSLR D60. Well, at least it’s not much as difficult as choosing to be a PC or a Mac guy. For some reasons, getting the Nikon camera gives me more advantages than a Canon camera. I still have lens that come with my retired camera that are yet compatible with the new one. Domination does dominate. Since a decade back or so, Nikon conquer the Cambodian market. Thus, professional services and accessories are very important for any camera owners. Digital Photography Review has a good mention of the D60.
The D60 is the third incarnation of Nikon’s compact, user-friendly entry-level SLR line that started back in 2006 with the D40 (which replaced the first Nikon ’starter’ model, the D50). The original D40 was a hugely important camera for Nikon and can be given a lot of the credit for the resurgence in Nikon’s fortunes at the volume end of the SLR market (which had been totally dominated by Canon since the launch of the EOS 300D / Digital Rebel). The D40’s success (which continued long after the D40X made its swift appearance only 6 months later) isn’t hard to explain; it was keenly priced, nicely designed and built and capable of excellent results. It was also a camera that proved cameras do not sell on megapixels alone (even at launch its 6MP resolution was far from ‘class leading’).
Also, it came to my full attention when browsing Nikon Web site about a year ago, and a story of ‘light and people’ strikes me [and I posted a note here].
