D60 is a nice camera, great for non-professional photo buffs. Good pics and plenty of options with scene selectors. Have to say I have used a D40, D60 and D80. For the money I would go for a D40 just as good cheaper and there aren't a whole lot of reasons to buy a D60 over a D40 or a D40X. But thats just my 2 cents worth. Or if you can really afford it the new D90 is really really cool (the one I am going to get when my wife will let me)
