Hi Fabien
They should work on your 60D and as a starting point, they'll be fine. Once you've started to use the camera and lenses, you can see where they are holding you back / their shortcomings are and then look to upgrade them with specific needs.
Hope this helps....

A film DSLR?

Exactly what I would have said. They aren't new designs and there are many different lenses that would be better - but "better" means different things to different people. So they'll get you started, and then if/when you want to take photos which your lenses won't let you take, you'll know what to look for by way of upgrade.

These are low spec lenses from film days. The 28-90 was the standard zoom that came with the low level slr bodies. Its equivalent for dslr would be a 18-55mm zoom.
They were designed down to a price rather than up to a high standard and they would have given acceptable results for someone who just wanted 6 x 4 prints.
The maximum apertures are not great and the lenses lack IS, so unless you have a monopod or tripod to counter camera shake they are not going to be wonderful in low light.

Thanks Mortimer
Would I be better off with the first lens or the kit lens on this camera?

You can't go wrong really with the 18-55 kit lens as a starter. It's a lot better than its price may suggest! When I started all I had was a nifty fifty, a borrowed 18-55 and a handful of old fd lenses which I used with an adapter on my Dslr. It taught me a lot in a very short space of time because the only way to use them was in manual mode. Hope you enjoy your journey into photography.

Hi Fabian
Following on from previously - just try the kit lens you get and these see what you like / prefer...
Don't forget, they are also longer focal lengths, so you've quite a distance covered with these and the kit lens to be starting off...
