Why are you so upset and why do you even care about the auto focus motor not in the body? The camera WILL AUTOFOCUS all lenses that are AF-S (Nikkor) or HSM (Sigma). The kit lens that came with the D60 autofocuses for you, doesn't it? The only issue you might ever have is with a lens like the 50mm that has no autofocus motor in the lens. It will work on the camera, and auto meter it just won't autofocus. But Nikon just came out with a 60mm AF-S lens, so you should be fine.

If you like the other parts of the D60 then be happy with it and keep it. As you can see from my sig, I have a D40 (no motor) and both a D80 and D300 and they are all fine. I love the D40 as it is so light weight.

You will love the D60 if you keep it.
