Ken, I've been a D60 user since soon after the introduction of the camera. Overall, I am very pleased with it, and will only replace it with something of the caliber of a 1Ds, which is NOT financially feaseable now. I will say I went through a learning curve with my D60, but can now get VERY good

I don't think the low-light AF was as good as my Elan IIe, other than that small issue which wasn't that bothersome it was a GREAT camera for me. Tom P. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Ken Durling > Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2004 3

Rune, I have a D60, but have no experience with the new Rebel. From all I have heard, the Rebel is short on many features of the D60 / D10 cameras. I have been quite happy with my D60, though low light focus performance leaves something to be desired. Here are reviews on the D60 and the Rebel.
