Recently whenever I take photos with my Nikon D60 the photos look really weird. I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it. I am wondering if it is a setting problem or if it is a hardware problem. Also if it is a hardware problem how much am I looking at to get it fixed. Here is a link to a photo showing what is going on.
The lens can be totally ruled out here, these false colors are quite clearly a sensor issue. My D40 actually developed a similar problem. Just wondering, does the problem persist in case of long time exposures? My D40 has its false color issues only in case of shutter speeds of less than one second. As soon as i use one second or longer, it works perfectly again. Hence i'm thinking about converting it to an IR camera, where such long exposures are common and if i wreck it completely in the process, then it's not a big loss as it already was partially defective anyway.
I wouldn't expect that the problem can be fixed in an economically feasible way, given that the D60 already is quite an old camera.

Take out the battery and then put it back in after a few minutes. Switch on the camera and reset the settings to default. Press the two buttons with green dot together for a few seconds to do this. One is located near the shutter release and another is near the bottom left of the screen.
If this doesn't work take the camera to the nearest service center.

You'll notice that parts of your image which are overexposed, or the brightest, have weird colors. The normally exposed areas appear fine. This is a digital problem. If you have another memory card, format it and try it out. If that doesn't help, you need to send the camera to Nikon for repair. Call them and see what sort of price they'll charge.

I have a D90. On my D90 I would go into "Picture Controls" and make sure my settings were defaulted.
As for the cost, contact Nikon and see what their minimum charge currently is.
