Nikon F60
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The F60 (or N60 as it is known in the U.S.) is a 35mm film SLR camera which was sold by Nikon between 1998 and 2001.[1][2] It replaced the F50 and was aimed at the lower-end of the amateur autofocus SLR market.
The F60 features autofocus, two forms of TTL light metering and various "programs" (ranging from manual operation to a highly-automated point and shoot mode).
It was replaced by the similarly-priced F65 (also known as the N65) in 2001.
The F60 was introduced in late 1998 as the successor to the F50. It was targeted at the consumer market and at the time of release was Nikon's lowest-priced SLR on sale in the UK. It was noted by some reviewers that the F60's wheel-based interface was easier to use than that of the F50.
A variant known as the F60D or N60D, which added a date/time-imprinting facility was also available.
The F60 body was made from polycarbonate and metal, and available in both "champagne silver" and black. It features compatibility with most older Nikkor lenses, except APS and pre-AI lenses. However, in some cases autofocus and/or TTL metering is not supported.[3]
Notable omissions include depth-of-field preview and any form of remote shutter release. Both these features were included in its successor, the F65.[4]
