I'm looking for a "budget DSLR for my Dad. After researching, the two I am down to are the Nikon D60 and the Canon XS. I know they aren't top of the line by any means, but for him going from a crappy (in my opinion crappy that is) Olympus P&S camera, one of these will be great.
I'm looking at getting them as refurbs, probably from Adorama since I had a good experience previously getting a refurbed XSi from them. Each would be bought with the starter 18-55 mm VR/IS lens.
Nikon D60 - $459.90

Or if there is a better suggestion out there with a similar budget, please let me know. Thanks!
