I can't speak for others or perhaps even make a generalization
about the D60 itself. But with the three digital cameras I do
have -- the D60, a smaller G2, and an even smaller pocket
S230 -- I quite normally shoot each of these cameras at
1/3 stop underexposed from what the lightmeter suggests.

That's what I find works best for me, although I'm not sure
if other photographers habitually slightly over or under
expose their digital images or if they just go with what
the lightmeter tells them.
