The D60 isn't exactly "obsolete." It's going to be replaced, probably at
PMA, by two separate cameras, and Canon simply underestimated demand for it
and sold out of the production run far sooner than they thought they would.
Since the production lines were already devoted to the new cameras, another
run of the D60 was not feasible. But the early "demise" of the D60 in no way
indicates a lack of support for it--rather, it indicates its overwhelming
popularity and far stronger than expected sales.
