Compared to the Nikon D1x (contd.)
Studio scene comparison
This is our standard studio scene comparison shot taken from exactly
the same tripod within about a minute of each other (tripod was moved
closer to the subject to compensate for the difference in multiplier between
the D60 and D1x). Lighting: 2 x 800W studio lights with dichroic daylight
filters bounced off a white ceiling reflector. Crops magnified 200%.

Both cameras do an excellent job of pulling the detail
out of the image, there are several areas of fine detail where the D1x's
additional horizontal resolution is able to better define horizontal elements.
However, the overall conclusion must be that the D60 with it's superior
vertical resolution is better able to resolve the full six megapixels
of resolution. Colour balance is more interesting, the D1x producing a
brighter and more vivid image, the D60's image looking more neutral (of
course you could get a more vivid D60 image by creating a parameter set
with the 'saturation +1' setting).
