Nikon has just announced the D60 DSLR that appears to be a replacement for the D40(x) models and an array of SLR lenses. Read the details by following the links below.
- Nikon D60 (Nikon USA press release).
- AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR (Nikon USA press release). Available February 22, 2008
- AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED (Nikon USA press release). Available March 2008
- PC-E Nikkor 24mm f/3.5D ED (Nikon USA press release). Available March 2008
I am a little disappointed by the D60 because I was expecting a D80 replacement. The new lenses are a little boring as well. Nikon’s consumer grade zoom lens lineup just became even messier with the introduction of the DX Nikkor 16-85 f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. The other two lenses are more targeted towards professional photographers in an effort to revamp Nikon’s aging full frame lens offerings. I guess it becomes necessary with the recent introduction of the D3 full frame (FX format) DSLR camera.

I would have liked the 16-85 to have been a bit faster at the long end tbh.
I agree about the line up. It would be a good idea of Nikon discontinued the 18-70 to tidy it up a bit.
