yeah probably. i didn't even know a d60 existed...it's weird that they would've changed the D to go after the number (20D, 30D, etc). basically any canon dslr will rule.

not if you plan to shoot skiing with it, ive worked at a camera shop for five years and take it from me, anything before the 10d is really to slow to shoot action with (slow autofocus, slow shooting, slow reacting) go with something 10d or up.

I have the D60 and have found that it still shoots rather quickly. I like it more than the Rebel because it still offers a bit more manual features and has a more solid feel. I personally think that the Rebel and Rebel XT feel cheap and like a toy but thats personal preference.
