Re: D60 vs. Digital Rebel
Canon 10D would be a better choice if you are going second hand which you would be with the D60. Are you looking at the original Digital Rebel 300 or the new one the 350.
Rebels have certain features that the 10D and 20D have, turned off.

The D60 felt a lot more solid to me and being larger and heavier, felt more similar to the Elan II with BP that I'm using now. I can't decide which body to go with. I imagine the Rebel has some more advanced image processing, but the D60 seems like a more solid camera with more features...any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi MT:
I agree with Peter, if you're going second hand, go with the 10D. There should be plenty of them around with the 20D out in force. Nothing wrong with the D60, but it is an older camera, noise is terrible at ISO 800+, and the AF is a dog (so is the 10D's but not as bad as the D60). The 10D is considerably cleaner at the higher ISO settings, and it has a metal body instead of plastic. I've got both these cameras, and my vote goes with the 10D for a second hand camera. Unless you're getting a heck of a deal, though, I'd seriously think about a new Rebel XT.
