I have a pair of E10s and I have been using a D60 for a few weeks now.
The really interesting thing is that when I originally bought the
E10s everybody was saying that the focus was supposedly dreadful. I
have now bought the D60 and, guess what? The focussing is
supposedly dreadful.
I am sorry I accept neither premise. I have been making money out
of the E10s for a long time now and apart from having the manual
focus recalibrated on the first one when I had the firmware
updated, there is nothing whatsoever wrong with either E10 or the
D60.
I bought the D60 for shooting big groups of 20 plus people and
remote capture. The D60 is a big improvement over the E10 in its
ability to make the bigger groups. Faster generally including focus
BUT once again there is nothing wrong with the focussing on any of
my lenses.
Buy one or the other (I would not recommend the E20 because of the
very slow write times), the E10 or the D60. You will be very happy.
Some photographers out there are shooting sports stuff with E10s
and D60s successfully but I am certain that there are better
cameras out there (D1H and 1D) that will do the job better.
Accepting a cameras limitations is something that we all have to do
but on the E10 and the D60 focussing ain't one of them.

I guess unles we are willing to spend 5 grand we will have to deal
with a little issue here or there! Isthat crazy or what!
Barb,
This one issue has driven people crazy. I am waiting for my D-60
to come in. Frankly, Canon screwed up on the focus issue. Many on
this forum feel Canon dumbed down the autofocus to keep sales high
for their pro 1D.
I think they underestimated this problem with the general public.
I did own a E-20 and I would still have it today if it were not for
the G-D aweful write times. I loved the E-20 but I really liked
the D-30 a lot more.
Regards,
Adams, Gutmann, Steichen, Stigletz, Weston. they lead by example.
