We were wondering what was missing from PMA 2008 pre-announcements: Nikon!
Here comes the new Nikon D60, supposedly replaces the well-known Nikon D40X, features 10.2 MP and introduces a new anti-dust system, active d-lighting, a stop-motion recording mode and Expeed branding.
Active d-lighting helps in the area where most DSLRs this year will compete on: extended dynamic range.
The stop-motion feature - welding together single frames into a movie - is a first-ever feature as far as we know in a DSLR.

At least three new lenses: a 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, the Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED for die-hard macro enthusiast and the PC-E Nikkor 24mm f/3.5D ED offering both tilt and shift movement.

Still have to sort out the number of new Coolpix cameras upcoming; the most prominent may be the P60, a 36-180mm-superzoom compact with optical viewfinder (a rarity) that replaces the Nikon Coolpix P50 losing somehow on the optical side at wide-angle (from 28mm up to 36mm).
The P60 features M exposure mode provides full control over both the aperture and shutter speed settings.

Check the Coolpix L16/L18 for budget-savy users, the S210 (8 MP), S520 (8 MP) and S550 (10 MP).
More details coming up!

Updated! Now Nikon D60 is available for pre-order!
