Well, four weeks on and it seems my D60 was one of the best purchaes I've ever made. It's let me take photos I wouldn't have even bothered trying with the Panasonic. It already feels like an extension of my hand. I've taken more photos in the past month than I had in the entirety of my life before then - and that includes back in the days when my Olympus 35mm film SLR still worked.

Only trouble I've had is sometimes the autofocus fails miserably, I'm not sure why. The Panasonic was AF was slower, but seemed to be able to spot focus on a much smaller area. Still, I just got 132 quite usable images from Parks alive 2008 (the best of which are being uploaded to dA as I type) so it's not something I'll complain about. Next item on the shopping list is an upgraded computer to assist my photoshopping, and then it's on to some new lenses. I reckon a mid-range zoom and a low-(high-?)aperture wide angle would be in order.
