I'm sure we all have our own perspective on which cameras are most like other cameras, but I've always thought of the D60 as more like the Elan family than the Rebel family, in terms of exposure modes, shutter speed range, the inclusion of custom functions, as well as size and construction (Rebel bodies tend to be polished plastic, the later Elans had more textured covering), adjustable diopters, and more like the EOS 3 in that is has a PC terminal and uses Canon's high end wired and wireless remotes.
One feature it sadly shares with the Elan 7/7e is that annoying white AF assist light. I much prefer the red one on the Elan IIe/3.
