Is the nikon d60 better than the d40? - 2
What are the main differences of the two?
Here they are side by side
http://www.dpreview.com/...=nikon_d60
As you can see, the Nikon D60 is two years newer than the D40
The D40 has a CCD sensor so can flash sync at 1/500th second. The D60 flash sync is 1/200th second
Both have long been discontinued. If you're camera shopping and have decided on Nikon then look at the Nikon D3100 or the newer D3200. B&H shows the D3100 w/18-55mm f3.5-5.6G VR zoom lens for $546.95 after a $100.00 'Instant Savings" from B&H and free USA shipping.
Snapsort.com gives a slight edge to the D60.
I think the Nikon D60 is the clear winner. Read this review and you will know why i said this:
