D60 will let you control focus, shutter and aperture manually.
If there is any confusion, it is the mind set. You need to tell yourself that many of the functions that you used to set mechanically, particularly the shutter speed, aperture,ISO and EV, are now set electronically.
So the dials have disappeared. In their places are Mode dial, four directional buttons, and a few other buttons, that let you control the way you want the picture to be taken.
What you used to read on the dials , shutter speed, aperture, ISO, EV , are now shown on the screen.
So you need to start looking for what you want on the LCD.
Unlike compact digitals, Zooming in D60, and D80, has to be done manually, similar to your FM2
2. Lenses :
The Nikon mount is still the same, you can mount your FM2 lenses on D60.
Old AFI and AFS lens of FM2 days will find new life in D60, not D80.
The difference lies in the built in motor of AFS lens which is what D60 uses today.
D80 on the other hand has a pin to connect the motor in the camera body to the gears in the lens.
At the end of the day, it is the lens you own that decide whether D60 or D80 better meet your requirement.
