Does anyone have any experience (positive or negative) with a Canon D60? Thanks!

And the 20D is a way better camera than the 10D. If you are looking for an old (because it's cheap) camera, the 20D is still a decent body. The 30D was mostly a cosmetic upgrade from the 20D, so it's also a good camera but maybe not as easy to find that cheap. The 40D was a pretty good upgrade, so that might be my recommendation for a good used camera...but the prices are pretty close to a new(er) rebel body like the Xti etc.However, I have heard many people say that the 10D is by far the better camera, and doesn't cost much more
I'm just surprised to even see things like 10D or D60 put out as even close to viable options for a DSLR. I dont even know why a nine-year-old, six-generation-back camera would even be considered as anything other than a collector's item today.
For 500$, you could easilly get a nice modern entry level DSLR like the Rebel XS or a little more for an Rebel XSi.
btw no one has mentioned this yet...
Neither the D60 nor the 10D are compatible with EF-S lenses even though they are cropped sensored cameras. That is pretty limiting in the wide angle focal lenghts.

I started with the D30 and jumped to the 10D. The 10D is a great camera and my cousin still has it as a backup camera. However, it is an old camera and with technology, time == improvement/advancement. You have to decide whether or not the 10D's capabilities are enough to convince you that the improvements made over the last 7 years isn't worth it.
Now if you worked primarily for a newspaper with newspaper print or online being the final output, heck I'd take a 1dsM1 or 1dm1 over a similarly priced new camera.
Thank you for your responses!
Village Idiot: yes, that is the camera.
Derrel: thank you for your candor! I'm really starting to doubt that this is the camera for me.
Dao: yes, I have considered purchasing a D60, it seemed comfortably in my price range of $500 or less. However, I have heard many people say that the 10D is by far the better camera, and doesn't cost much more. But before I made a solid decision, I wanted to hear the personal experiences of TPF's photographers.
