The Canon D60 was released in 2002 and was superseded by the 10D in 2003.  They can be bought for about $100 on ebay or Craigslist today. 

It has a 1.5" LCD screen and is pretty slow in operation compared to today's cameras. (it is slow to start up, slow to write files to the memory card, and slow to review the photos).

It was designed before the Digital Rebel and the lens mount will only accept Canon EF lenses. Canon EF-S lenses won't fit unless you modify the mount.. Third party "crop camera" lenses (like Sigma and Tamron) will work just fine. 

Are you saying that all third-party crop-camera lenses will clear the larger mirror of a FF camera? Because if they don't, they'd need the tab that prevents them from fitting an EF mount, in which case they wouldn't work on a D60. Right?

Yes, all 3rd party lenses will clear the mirror. Even those made for APS-C (digital only) cameras.  They will have heavy vignetting in the corners, as they are not designed to project a Full Frame image on the sensor, but the will not hit the mirror.

Yes, what I bought was a D60.  Sorry for the confusion.
