On one hand, if your current camera works fine and takes good pictures, it would be smart to hang on and wait for the next couple generations of cameras. There seems to be new digital camera features every nine months or so, so if you can wait for a year and a half, there will be cameras then that will perform much better than today's cameras.

On the other hand, if you are going to buy a shiny new toy, I say go for the D60. It's a good camera and you'll have a lot of fun with it. You might want to skip the two-lens package and go for the single Nikon 18-200mm lens, which will let you do just about everything you want to do with a single lens. It might cost more that way but it will be more convenient. I have a D200 with the 18-200mm lens and never have a need to swap lenses. That means I don't have to carry around a second lens and never have a need to clean the sensor (since I never open the camera).

In addition to the D200, I have a Canon G7 for high-quality pictures using a more compact camera. I also have a Canon A700 compact camera, which is three generations old but still quite funtional. I really like the G7 (which was replaced by the G9 and now the G10) and have taken hundreds of photos with it that have been published in magazines. Most of the pictures I take for my reviews on Viewpoints were done with the G7. It's great having a good DSLR for very high quality pictures, as well as something more compact to easy-to-carry shots. Sounds like you can use your existing super-zoom camera for your easy-to-carry unit.

Good luck!
