The D60 has really lousy auto-focus. Nice pictures but I can't recommend it as a content production camera. I can post samples if anyone is desperate to see the problem. We still use the Fuji S1 because there's nothing on the market right now that justifies replacing it. Very nice skin tones right out of the camera. The Fuji S2 really fails to impress as an upgrade, all of the same problems as the S1 with none of the much needed features (portrait grip shutter release, single battery etc).

The Sony VX2000 is probably the best bet for most content, the only reason we use the GL1 is it has an optical image stablizer rather then a digital one so handheld video is more forgiving. The stability also keeps the size of video files down. We now either use a dolly or a Glidecam mount for all our video stuff so we'll probably switch to the VX2000 soon.
