the Nikon D60 is in fact a direct replacement of the D40x.  It therefore comes packed with all the excellent features that award-winning camera has including 10.2 megapixels and 3-area auto focus system.. but it also comes with some enhancements including:

• EXPEED processing - an exlusive bit of Nikon technology which enhances the image quality and speed of processing.

• There's an Airflow control system which stops dust being an issue when you change lenses.

• Automatically rotating user interface (for using the camera on the vertical)

• Stop motion movie function so you can get creative, as well as some great (and fun) in-camera image processing

• Active D-lighting with a dedicated button helps to compensate in dark, shadowy conditions.

• And something very new - this camera is being offered here with a very special stablized lens kit offering vibration control (AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR).  This cuts down on camera shake and means you can also take pictures at speeds up to 3 times slower than would be possible with your usual lens.
