I recently bought the D60 kit. As a first time dSLR owner price was my main deciding factor. That and I liked how the D60 felt when holding it than the Canon Xsi felt.

As far as lenses, I found myself using manual focus more than the auto focus just because I quickly learned that I wanted to control what was happening instead of letting the camera do it.
Goodness, that has got to take some serious skill and good eyesight to manually focus a D60.
i wouldnt say i have a good eye or skill.

I thought it was kinda simple, you turn the ring thing toward the front of the lens till what you see in the viewer looks the way you think it should. I dont have a photographer's eye so what I think may be good is not good to someone else.

clubs:		 No, I just find it rather hard myself to manual focus with the smaller viewfinders. They just aren't built for that anymore.

Though I'll sometimes MF with a tripod and stationary subject.

While it wasn't really my idea in the first place, I went ahead and made a chart of (calculated) actual viewfinder sizes here: »Comparing viewfinders
