Using old Nikkor lenses

[amesh67]

Hey

My dad bought a Nikon F60 back in 2000 and got a couple of Nikkor lenses along with it, a 28-70 mm 1:35-4.5 D and a 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 D. I'm thinking of buying a DSLR now and my choice of brand is greatly influenced by the fact that I have those 2 lenses to use if I bought a Nikon camera.

Are these lenses of any good quality? Should I opt for a Nikon DSLR because I already have those lenses?

Thanks!
