60D on the way!

Went to purchase a 70-300 and ended up buying a 60D!

I was on B&H's web site to order a 70-300 to get more range over my 17-85. The lens was 499, however while looking at the 60D (which I been bugging for to upgrade my 30D), I noticed a 'special buy' that the 70-300 was $199 when purchased with the 60D (I think it worked for the 7D also). The deal was too good to pass up!

Nice. 60D is a great camera!

Sounds like a win as long as you don't mind the smaller size of the 60D...sell your 30D when you get the new camera and you shoudln't be out too much money!

Congrats! What brand lens?

Nice, you will love it.

Grats, just picked one up as well

I just came up from a 30D and I already love it. The size isn't much different at all. I thought the swivel screen would just be a novelty but it's gotten it's use already so I bought a small carbon fiber tripod and it is shorter than me. But I don't even need to bend down to look in the viewfinder. It's a very nice camera for the money.

Welcome to a wonderful experience!

When you get it sit down in front of your PC and check out the Canon made 60D tutorials at http://www.learn.usa.c​anon.com …s/eos_60d_tutor​ials.shtml. Very helpful in learning the camera. You can also place the tutorials on a memory card and view them in camera instead of on a PC. I find this helpful as a quick review. You do need an 8G card if you do this.

Just got a 60D a couple of weeks ago - love that camera! Enjoy!

Congrats ! its a great camera

Congrats... that is a sweet deal that you got. I was just looking at it myself. Been thinking about picking up a smaller crop camera and that is a fantastic lens. And I've been thinking about that lens for my 5D3. With this deal, you are getting the 60D for $399! I was thinking about that lens... hmmm....

I don't always 60, but when I do...I 60D. =P

congrats!!

I did the same yesterday .
After going back and forth between several bodies (Sony A65, Nikon D7000, T4I and 60D) for quite some time I finally made up my mind and got the 60D. I also noticed that I could have the 70-300mm for cheap and got that too.
Finally I also bought a 2nd hand 15-85mm to complete the set.
Coming from a G12 I'm looking forward to the challenge of the 60D..
