There are differences between these models -
# Dust Reduction System: The D60 incorporates an Active Dust Reduction System with built-in airflow control ducts around the lens mount area designed to channel dust particles away from reaching the sensor (minimizes dust from entering camera when changing lenses)
# Incorporates an Optical Low Pass Filter (OLPF) vibration system that shakes dust from the low-pass filter automatically on startup and/or shutdown or manually via the setup menu.
# Auto Eye Sensor: the D60 features an eye sensor that provides automatic switching between the vertical and horizontal display format for the LCD monitor (depending on the camera's orientation) and automatic monitor on/off to preserve battery power
# Active D-Lighting Compensation: Optimizes dynamic range preserving details in highlights and shadows. Dedicated button to activate or can be set in the Menu
. You can shot up to 5 shots per burst with Active D-Lighting enabled.
# EXPEED: The Nikon D60 utilizes Nikon's proprietary EXPEED Image Processing (EXPEED was first introduced in Nikon's higher end professional Nikon D3 and D300 digital SLR's)
# New Kit lens: The Nikon D60 will come supplied in a kit form with the new AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR zoom lens versus the AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II non vibration reduction lens bundled with the D40x
