I don't have the D60, but have a D70s nd D200 and absolutely love them. I've read some really good reviews regarding the D60 and that it's a solid slight step up from entry level DSLR. I would reccomend the 18-70mm lens though. You'll immediately want something with a little more range if you just have the 18-55.

Have a D-40x and love it. Basically the same camera and it is awsome....

Check this site out for pricing, it's where we got ours and service is unbeatable. Broke the tripod and called them up they next day aired one to me at no cost because we were going out of town.

I read a bunch of reviews about it and I hope I like as much as most of the other owners reviews say they do. Anyway, it should be here in a couple of days.

Yeah I will. I am behind the learning curve right now though as this will be the highest end camera I have had, so maybe I can jump in and be a quick learner.

My D60 arrived yesterday evening. I have been playing around. Haven't got the hang of it yet though.
