Canon D60 0r EOS 10D?

Go for the 20D, I have both the 20D and 30D, dosent seem to be much between them, except the size of the LCD.

Ignore these comments that are trying to infer that the D60 and 10D went out with the ark and that you should go for a 20 or 30D and use whatever is left for a lens,the old adage that good glass makes good photographs still holds firm so if you stick a good lens on a 10D and a poor lens on a 20D its the first combi that will give you quality.

If possible get to try out your choices before buying but always look to get the best lens rather than best camera that you can afford

I'd agree but lets not forget that some 10's will now be getting old and possibly abused, a newer fresher 20 (or even a better/newer 10) may not fail as quickly as an old used 10, hence my suggestion to buy on the 'condition' of the kit. The 10 is still a fine camera (mine remains in my bag as a back-up to my newer 50) I have an 85 1.8 and a 100 macro lens and tbh the 10 doesnt quite do them justice but its a damn close call and had I not got a bonus last year I would have continued using the 10 with those lenses. I bought the new lenses before the new body, a good lens will always be a good lens whatever body it is strapped to.

I have an old push/pull 70/210 f4 and although it doesnt focus as fast as a new one (L series) its image quality is still superb, I have compared with a friends 70/200 2.8L so a good bargain at £70 :)
There's lots of 'old' kit out there doing a fine job.

I agree with Jerry, put your money into a DSLR and lens. A backup can come later.
The money you are saving will give you a better and more up to date body and more importantly go for the best lens you can afford.
 
All 10D and D60 must be used to death by now. 20D is perhaps the best bet if you can find one with low use. If you find some extra cash it may make sense to go for 40D as it is still fairly current.

Improvements are a larger LCD monitor, standardizing on 'Picture Style', spot metering, third stop ISO selection and selectable continuous shooting speeds.
Oh and has to be newer
 
I've had a 10D and I currently have a 20D. I think that the 20D is a better camera to use in that it seems faster and more responsive and it can accept EF-S lenses. If you can get a bargain in budget 20D I think that you should probably take it over a 10D, but if you can't find a 20D a 10D will probably be a good option.

Only paid £60 for my 70-210 f4 push pull and you are correct the quality is superb
