I will join the streetshooting after receiving a D60. Counting down the days...

simon, dun mislead pple :devil:
the Sigma 20 f1.8 is sharp and contrasty, and gives the OEM's 20mm a run for their money with the fastest 20mm lens yet built.
though it may not focus as fast, it's very well built too! And it has a closer focusing distance than even the OEM's 20mm lenses
How well does it handle flare?
Been playing around with a Sigma 17-35 lately. Disappointed that it flares so easily. The hood doesn't seem to help much.
good thing u asked here. someone asked the same in dpreview forum (in a more flippant manner) and that started a mini war of sorts
to quote someone from inside, it's the same as asking wat's the difference between a toyota and a Lexus. the 1D is much better built, weather resistant, and handling is much better. it has a vastly superior Auto Focus system, better AI Servo modes for tracking of moving subjects and better metering system. It also has a variety of esteroic controls, personal and custom functions to allow you to customise the camera to the way u want it to work. It also allows you to change your focusing screen to one that suits you. And of course there's that much vaunted high frames per second capability that basically allows you to shoot high speed sports. Image quality is also better than the D30, and images are less noisy than images from the D60 at all ISOs. that is sometimes more important than resolution.
Personally the one thing that's appealing to me for the 1D is the better AF ability and the wider ISO range (something which seems to be neglected in many discussion).
The 1D can do shots from ISO 100 all the way to 3200. In incremental 1/3 stops. Which means u can set ISO to watever the minimum shutter speed you require (for example, setting a ISO more than 800 but less than 1600 for better quality, less noise) And its ISO 800 images are better in quality with less noise than comparable images from the D30 or D60. ISO 1600 from 1D is said to be same as that of ISO 800 from the D30 or D60 (though i don't really agree!) and in a pinch, you can use ISO 3200.
The D60 is disapppointing to me because it loses ISO 1600 compared to the D30. It's also an incremental upgade to the D30, not a revolutionary one. However, for first time digital SLR users, i will only recommend the D60, not D30, unless cost is an issue. For first timers, the D60 does provide better value for money.
Yes, for a person like me who don't have a DSLR, D60 is a good starter. thx to Canon's competitors, they help bring down the entry level pricing. I don't think d30 users (especially those hobbiests) should upgrade to d60 in a rush. Low AF speed? How often do you shoot racing motors? If someone can offer me a used D30 with reasonable price, I dont even bother buying the D60;p
