Just one thing - I read a D60 review a few months ago, and I remember reading the D60 only had auto-focus with AF-S and AF-I lenses - would that VR lens be compatible?

Given it's a bundle, I assume so, but not sure.

Deej has a Canon bias, I have a Nikon bias ;)

I personally prefer Nikkor lenses, as I found Canon lenses (well the 2 I had) front focussed all the time.

I started with one of those started kits - a nikon D50, but as my photography got better and I got more into it, I progressed to the D300 and started investing in the semi-pro lenses.

SLRs are great for amateurs cos they allow you to build your equipment as and when you can afford/justify the cost.

An excellent present, whether it's a canon or nikon. Forget the rest.
