I recently bought a Canon D60 with external battery grip. It also included a Sigma 28mm 1.8 aspherical lens. Any feedback?

Canon had a D60 model back around 2002, and sold for about $2199 with Lens, battery & charger.
Sensor was 6.3 Megapixles.
Times and tech have sure changed, look what you can get for that price now!

Enjoy it. At some point, you may want a "current" DSLR, you will know when the time is right.

Good camera. Dollar for dollar it will do the job just as well as anything sitting on the shelf in Best Buy or Costco today. 1000 ISO max should present little problem with that fast lens. I shoot primarily with an "antique" 40D but will often break out my 5MP Olympus E-1 when the weather is bad and I defy anyone to tell the difference between the shots made with that 12 year old camera and those taken with much more expensive and more modern gear.

Have fun shooting and knowing you are a marketing exec's nightmare.

Thanks for the good info. I already have a T3i that I really like but since I only paid $20 for this whole package I think I did ok.

What a fantastic steal. Hey, if you want I"ll give you $50 for it, more than double your money.

Thanks for the offer. I'll keep it in mind. I want to try it out first and see what I think. :-)

Did I just hear a big Nikon "Gulp?" Enjoy your cameras. I'd like to see a shot or two from the Canon D60.
