Nikon unveiled the update to its Performance series, the Coolpix P60, at PMA 2008 in Las Vegas. With a target audience of advanced point-and-shooters, the 8.1-megapixel P60 is the update to the P50 with a longer 5x zoom. The camera keeps the face detection technology and optical image stabilization of its predecessor. The Nikon Coolpix P60 will retail for $229.95 when it ships in March 2008.

Connectivity
Software
The Nikon Coolpix P60 is bundled with the Coolpix Software Suite.

Jacks, Ports, Plugs
The Nikon P60 has one tiny port located on the right side of the camera for connecting the camera to a computer, printer, or television display.

Direct Print Options
The Nikon P60 supports PictBridge-enabled printers so users can directly print from the camera without the use of a computer.

Battery
The Nikon Coolpix P60 accepts three types of batteries. The camera comes bundled with 2 AA alkaline batteries, the kind most convenience stores keep in stock, which is good for travelers. Nikon upped the battery life on the P60 to a claimed 190 shots per charge, up from 140 shots on the P50, with alkaline batteries. The P60 also supports lithium and oxyride batteries and two rechargeable EN-MH1 Ni-MH batteries, although they are not included in the bundle.
