    Those look better than the D60.. but 20 years from now somebody may say the same thing about the golden D60.

    Is there anyway this could be a prank. Some taking a goldish sharpie (or something like that) and color a D60?

    That don’t think those strap lugs look right. The least Nikon could do is gold plate correctly, right? Right?

    The gold lettering all over Nikon lenses released over the past nine or so years is total kitsch, too.

    why only ritz has this model?

    canon used to make different colors too. 400d was in white (gray) and black versions.

    Please don’t tell me this is how Nikon is responding to the Canon 5D MKII…

    Well, the body could be silver instead of black.

    Agreed, the NIKON badge itself being gold would have helped tie everything together as well.

    Nikon D60 in versione oro

    Da qualche tempo su Nikonrumors si stava parlando di una fantomatica D60 gold edition dopo averne intravisto le prime tracce informatiche.
    Ora sono arrivate le prime foto che potete vedere nella galleria “Nikon D60 Gold edition“. Non si…

    Well I can see one upgrade in the picture if it is accurate. The lens is the 16-85 VR not the standard 18-55 VR lens that comes with a stock D60. For $50 more it might be worth it just for that.

    More Black Gold

    I think the colors are cool. My Iowa Hawkeye colors are the same and I have a strap with their logo so this would be great.

    it is funny how that colour scheme looks fine on our lenses though… perhaps we aren’t used to it? who cares though either way I hate it..it looks cheap!

  44. Posted March 11, 2009 at 3:19 am | Permalink

    It really does look ugly! Why does it have to be gold? Who would spend more money for that? If it’s supposed to look fancy, it didn’t work out at all…
