One of the main difference is size and well the D80 will use all AF AI and AF-S lenes and it will support all functions.

The D60 you have some limitations you can only use AF-S lenes and get full funtions. The D60 has a little bit newer technology yet the D80 still has more pro features.

D60 is a great camera. A great learning tool because its so user friendly. The main difference between the d60 and the d80 is that the latter has an internal motor to drive auto-focusing lenses. The d60 does not have an internal motor. This is why it’s very small, light, and affordable. Why is this important? If you want to buy an autofocusing lens for your d60, you have to make sure the lens has an internal motor to drive the autofocus. Otherwise, you are stuck with a manual focus lens, my friend. There are very few of these types of lens and they are a little more pricey than the ones without the motor. Some of the best lens do not have motors in them because they utilize the camera’s motor.

So, if you plan on using different lens for your shots, you better think twice about the d60. It’s a great camera, but it will limit you if you want to do a little more with your shots. I’ve purchased some great lens, the 50mm 1.4 lens, a 17-50mm lens, and a 85mm 1.4 lens. I would have to manually focus all of these with the d60. IMO, you are better off with the d80 or better if you are serious about photography! If you don’t care about the lens and are not all that serious about photography, get the d60. It’s a great little camera.
