The introduction suggests it's a replacement for the D80, but it
looks more like a replacement for the D40X.

Yes, definitely. Maybe a typo on Ken's part.


I didn't see, but I assume it
doesn't have an autofocus motor for non AF-S lenses.

I assume that too. Body looks the same size as the D40/D40x so I'd
think that would rule out an AF motor and coupling in the body.

The page currently says:

"I suspect Nikon has introduced the D60 to replace the D40x, and slots the
D60 under the D80 and above the D40."

Cheers,
