I shoot everyday with the d60 and i can tell that you won't be disappointed, specially if you've got ai-s lenses that has their own autofocus motor. It's light weight, fits well in your hand, accepts non ai very old lenses (thing that d80/d90 or above can't do it), has a great sensor, noise reduction and active d-lightning. Of course, if you're looking for high end iso camera up to date of 2010, get the d90 or the d300s, but the price difference is huge. You can do everything with the d60.
Get a fast glass and a third party battery grip if you can.
Nikon d60 that spoke to me in german. I wanted a second body to save keep changing lenses. No nikon d40x were available at a good price if at all so i searched for a d60 - i bought the d60 from a german exhibition (through amazon)at a greatly reduced price, unused but set up in german - it took a while to sort out my language problem but nikon technical support were fantastic. The camera is fabulous and as someone on a limited budget & a beginner i am delighted with the clarity of the pictures that it takes. The dust removal system is reassuring and effective.
I am using the camera to take shots which are blown up to a3 size to enter camera club competitions so i am competing against people with expensive cameras & lenses. I had one third place recently so am well pleased to be able to compete at a level way above where i am at. I'd recommend this camera for anyone wanting to learn how to use a dslr. It's also light weight compared with many of the cameras my colleagues lug around.

Conclusion of Nikon D60 Body
I bought this to replace my fujifilm s2 pro dslr camera. 1 megapixels i'd expected the d60 images to be much better. However this varies sometimes from photo to photo and even after very close looking the image quality differences are very small. I also bought a nikon 18-200mm vr lens. Pros and cons of my new camera outfit:pros* slightly more detail* larger image - better quality poster prints* vibration reduction ( on the 18-200mm lens )* massive zoom range on the 18-200 lens* slightly lighter and smaller than fuji - less arm ache* much quicker download of images* i shoot in raw format and find nikon capture nx2 software ( bought separately ) much more comprehensive than fuji's version* much bigger and clearer screen - easier to see when shots out of focus* more image info displayed* electronic remote ( buy separately ) operates from a longer distance* viewfinder seems a little brightercons* actual image quality no better - possibly very slightly worse depending on the photo* no af support for older lense* lcd screen and easy change of some shot settings* 18-200mm lense is soft in the corners at 200mm and widest aperture - better when stopped down 2 stopsyou can see the pros outweight the cons so i'm happyfrom the reviews i've seen the canon 450d has better image sharpness - but also more expensive.
As i have a few nikon lenses it'd be expensive to switch to canon for the sake of a small image improvement. No nikon d40x were available at a good price if at all so i searched for a d60 - i bought the d60 from a german exhibition (through amazon)at a greatly reduced price, unused but set up in german - it took a while to sort out my language problem but nikon technical support were fantastic. I am using the camera to take shots which are blown up to a3 size to enter camera club competitions so i am competing against people with expensive cameras & lenses.
