Nikon launches D60, P60 and new Coolpix compacts

By Lori Grunin on 29 January 2008, 11:51am

Taking on the popular Canon A720 IS with its update to the P50, Nikon's Coolpix P60 includes some cool enhancements, including optical image stabilisation, an electronic viewfinder (unusual in a non-megazoom), and an increase in the zoom range to 5x up from 3.5x.

The longer zoom reach comes at the expense of the wide angle, however: the P50 offered an f/2.8-5.6 28mm-102mm-equivalent range, in contrast to the P60's narrower (though slightly faster at the telephoto end) f/3.6-4.5 36mm-180mm-equivalent range.

Though it uses the same 8-megapixel sensor as its predecessor and continues to operate off two AA batteries, the LCD grows a smidge to 69mm (2.7 inches) from 61mm (2.4 inches). Oddly, like the P50, it offers Program and full Manual exposure modes, but no aperture- or shutter-priority shooting options.

Nikon plans to ship the Coolpix P60 in the beginning of March for £200. -Lori Grunin
