Nikon D60 Specifications

Nikon will be announcing the Nikon D60 tomorrow at PMA 2008. The camera specifications have been let loose. It seems like it is a modest update to the Nikon D40. With Pentax stealing the show with the Pentax K200D and Canon’s refined EOS 450D, Nikon’s only competitive factor will be the price (unknown yet).
