Okay, I've done this with USM, and I'm doing it now with the D60.
My advice is not to get carried away. Consider your purchase decision carefully guys. You need to budget for the camera, as well as a range of good lenses. Buying a D60 or 1D and then sticking on a superzoom is fair play, but akin to buying a Ferrari and filling it with diesel. Or driving it in auto.
As I did before with USM (and got several strong opinions in return), how many of you need the D60? If you have the cash and want to spend it fair and good, all power to you. But if you're struggling, what's wrong with the D30? A D30 with a range of lenses will be an excellent buy in today's market. Now I'm not a Canon user, but from what I understand the main difference between the two is really the pixel count. Well take this from someone who's used digital for a very long time (relatively anyway), 3.3mp on a digital SLR is enough.
If you're intending to crop down 1/10 of your frame and blow that up to 20x30 then I'm not saying anything, but if you're shooting more or less full frame then there really isn't much of a need for much more than 3.3mp. Serious question, honest replies only -- how often do you guys crop your shots when they're taken with film? This applies to printing only, for screen use, a 3.3mp camera can be cropped with impunity.
What I'm seeing in all honesty is a rush to get the latest and greatest. Relax guys. Actually, just thought of another analogy. Buying a D60 and sticking say just a 50/1.8 on the front is like buying a Lamborghini in Singapore. What's the point? You want the German autobahns, wide open countrysides, and private race tracks that are your quality lenses from wide angle through to tele.
Let me emphasise that I'm not being a wet blanket or anything, nor am I trying to thwart clubsnap's attempts at obtaining a group discount. Just consider the D30. AF aside, it was a very good camera. It's still a very good camera, especially when you consider that for all intents and purposes the D60 has not improved that aspect.
