dont be scared about them pulling the plug on the d60, when it happens stuff will just go on sale, thats all. i havnt shot the d60, but i have shot the eos 1d, and i currently shoot an eos a2 - if you shoot an eos body, its like picking up an old friend... the only thing you have to get used to is setting the iso and the white balance, everything else is virtually the same. lenses - good all around? thats somewhat subjective since the d60 has a 1.6x multiplier in it which means recomending a 70-200 lens is really 112mm - 360mm lens. your budget will really deterimine this too. also, if your not gonna be needing a fast lens you can save some $$ by going w/ the middle ground lenses that are f/3.5-5.6 rather then the high end f/2.8-4 - but again its all a matter of what you shoot, if u want to hall more then one lens with you, or if u dont want a boat anchor of a lens as the only one u carry - such is the case w/ the 2.3 pount canon 85mm f/1.2
