Steven, Try www.dpreview.com for a review of the D60. I have a 1D, so I can't address the D60 issues directly. Many issues are similar, though. Yes, the Canon software works well. I believe the issue is that when shooting digitally, one takes many more shots, making more post-shooting work. On the 1D, I can shoot both JPEG or RAW format (or both). The JPEGs can be adjusted just like the scans you're used to. The advantage of the RAW format is that post processing will lose less information, thereby resulting in a better image. There are also many more ways to post-process (just as there are many ways to print negatives). So, how does one adjust 500 (sometimes) images taken in an afternoon and then select the best shot(s) for publication the next morning? Here's where the right software can speed the workflow. Many folks are using Bibble, YarcPlus, and others to make the process speedier. Myself, I shoot both formats and use the JPEGs (correcting in Photoshop) unless color balance or exposure are significantly off. Then, I revert to the RAW images. It still takes a while to correct or delete 200-500 images. Beyond that, it takes a bit of time further to select which to submit for publication. DaveB
