Looks like the Nikon D-60 is a camera we should take a closer look at.  I'm not all that hep on autofocus cameras but it seems to be a standard "feature" I'll have to live with.  

Outside of that it looks like a jump into the pro range and another $800.  eek

Don't you have legacy Nikon lenses to worry about? Does the D60 support  older lenses?

Yes we do and I don't know for sure.  The promotional material states the D60 has the F-mount.  Before we purchase we'll take a couple of pictures with one of our lenses attached to the camera and see what happens.

With most cameras you should be able to switch AF off and go manual if you want to.

DSLRs, that is.  Here's some review on the D60.

Nikon D60 Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review

Auto Focus only for AF-S or AF-I lenses

As with the D40 and D40X, the new D60 doesn't have an built-in focus drive motor which means it can auto focus only with lenses which have their own drive motor (AF-S and AF-I lenses). The lack of a drive motor can be seen by the missing mechanical focus drive pin on the lens mount (see images below). One of the D60's new features is an electronic rangefinder to help manual focus on non AF-S / AF-I lenses.
