Where'd you find that price if you don't mind my asking? I haven't seen it anywhere cheaper than $610 USD.
"The D60 takes the successful formula established in the D40 / D40X and, well, if we're being honest, doesn't do a great deal with it at all - the leap from D40 to D40X was a lot greater than the step up from D40X to D60 (even if Nikon's naming convention might seem to imply the opposite). There's a few nice new features, and bundling the new 'VR' (stabilized) version of the kit lens is a smart move that makes the whole package a lot more appealing, but it's fair to say that the D60 is a subtle upgrade rather than a wholescale reinvention of Nikon's entry-level best-seller."

The D60 is the same as the D40 with a few buttons moved around. Save yourself the cash and get the D40 or better yet - put the extra cash towards a good tripod.
