I recently sold my D60 on eBay. It's capable of taking great images. The thing that drove me nuts was its poor integration with the E-TTL flash system, including its own built-in pop-up E-TTL flash. This was a subject of contention during the D60's entire market life. Some people said E-TTL flash in general sucks anyway and never works reliably. Some people say there's no problem, just get used to using FEL or FEC or whatever on the D60. But I'm a 1v owner who is used to having E-TTL flash "just work" and deliver spot-on lighting under the great majority of circumstances, including multi-flash wireless circumstances. To me, the D60's ludicrous 1.5-2 stop flash exposure unpredictability was far from acceptable. But as I said, some argued that it was the photographer, not the camera, causing the problem. When you're working with it outdoors using natural light, or in a metered, predictable flash situation, it's still tough to beat in terms of image quality. So as always it depends on how you use it most of the time. --Ken S. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
