Jay's comments reminded me of something I read here: http://www.steves-digicams.com/2002_reviews/d60_compare.html
that basically says the 1D does not offer a magnified picture of taken images (look at the section entitiled LCD Monitor). This seems like a big oversight to me; one of the big advantages of digital is that you KNOW when you've got the shot right away, but if you can't tell from the tiny picture whether or not it's in focus. I know on my Pro90 I can magnify the image, and it looks like the d60 will do this as well, but maybe someone with a 1D and first-hand experience could comment on this.
