I've not ever noticed a difference but then I've not ever looked thru one or the other right after each other. I just did and there is a difference. It is not enough to notice unless looking for it but the D60 view finder seems slightly smaller and it is easier for me to see full view finder with glasses on than thru an RT. The _big_ difference, which I've not particularly noted, is speed. The RT, in "RT mode", is at least twice as many frames per second as the D60 and half the shutter lag. After shooting mostly with a Kodak 4800 for a year or so and now shooting over 2200 frames with a D60 without touching a film EOS, the RT seems to run like lightning! It's a damn shame I can't send the RT to the shop and get a CMOS fitted the way I just took my Ruger P90 in and had the .45 ACP barrel changed out for one cambered in .40 Super. I'll just have to be satisfied with the D60 for now. That is not difficult because in the time it takes to drive to Ritz and drop the RT films off, I can be home and _printing_ the D60 shots.
