Digital BW, The Print

Wapitiwilla, 

I agree with JerryO here....on every point.  

And....you sure know how to write a descriptive list of scenarios.  Birthing, funerals, weddings, birthdays, I am sure the D60 will make you happy.   Just be prepared to "change" your thinking to digital.

  Carol, it's not a pro model camera, but has higher resolution than any
  of the pro models. 
  I certainly wouldn't carry mine in a dust filled room, nor would I carry
  any other camera in such a room, unless everything but the front of the
  lens was wrapped in a plastic bag.  Quality for 13x19 inch prints equals
  film with the D60. D60 only has ISO 1000, not 1600, but you could set it
  for -1 stop exposure, (ISO 2000) and work it out in photoshop. I've been
  using a D30 for about a year and love it. My D60 should have been here
  by now, but they always say in just a few days .... I've never seen
  posterization with my D30. It's great for portraits, the D60 will be greater!
