Thanks Steve. I saw this quote on a review site and thought that I would need to jump to the D90:

Lens Compatibility: Just like the D40 and D40x, the D60 autofocuses only with AF-S lenses, and does not meter with manual lenses. This means you have to focus older AF lenses by hand, and that you have to guess at exposure with manual focus lenses.

The D90 works perfectly with all traditional AF, AF-I, AF-D and AF-S lenses.
The D90 has the same lens compatibility as the D80, D70, D100 and D50, which is better than the D40/D60, but worse than the D300.
The D90 provides automatic correction of lateral chromatic color fringes.
