Of late, I have been reading up a lot about photography and DSLR in particular. Having zeroed on to Nikon D40, I now wait for my bonus money to splurge on this gadget. Meanwhile, Nikon discontinued it's Nikon D40X series and has introduced a Nikon D60 at the PMA 2008. Is it worth buying a D60 over D40? I personally don't think so. Why? Well for starter, the price is about 60 % more for very less features.
What's new with D60? Well, you can read all the technical details here. But in a nutshell, these are the new features and what I think of them compared to a cheaper D40 -
Price - This is the deciding factor for an Indian buyer. D40 is selling at about 470$ vs D60 debuing at 750$ (60 % expensive)
Integrated Dust Reduction System - Hmm, Nikon has come out with a feature that Canon had in it's camera for years. Well to be honest, I would rather not pay to Nikon instead spend about 10 $ on a blower and clean the prism when really needed
Active D-Lighting for smoother gradation - Well, this seems like a marketing gimmick
Eye Sensor and orientation - Now these 2 are the most useful feature that I think an amateur would want. Eye sensor would swtich off the LCD when I try to look through the view finder. And the orientation of the menu is a concept copied from iPhone, which also would be very nice to have.
But 60% on a camera which essentially is Nikon D40? Well, not really worth it. Eventually, Nikon would probably phase out the Nikon D40s and make D60 as the entry level with prices dropped. But for now, it makes one wiser to go for Nikon D40 and save up that extra money for better use.

Memory sure is becoming cheaper and cheaper and cheaper. I'm curious as to when we will eventually hit the rate of 1 cent to 1 GB.
I can't wait for the day when I will finally be able to afford a 20 terabyte drive, hahaha. But for now I will be satisfied with having a 32 gig Micro SD in my R4i.
