It is an excellent digital camera and great lens!.

I am surprised you are starting your photo education with a digital camera !.!.!. most of us who teach photography, want to spend at least the first two semesters teaching our students with film !.!.!. it is much easier to troubleshoot students exposure problems by viewing contacts from the results of shooting with film than when using a digital format !.!. students like to "hide' their mistakes !.!.!. when that happens, it is hard to guide the student toward perfect camera control !.!.!. and yes it is possible !.!.!. even routine for those who have attended schools like Brooks, Art Center and Rochester Institute of Technology!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sure, it's a cool camera for you to use to learn the ropes on, and to use in your course in Photography in school!. However, if you were going to persue photography as a career you'd need a camera that could deliver more quality, something along the lines of this ( at least )

However ,that wouldn't need to be an immediate purchase!. Your D60 if a nice camera to start with!. Might want to get some nicer lenses though!.
