Brown Santa visited me the other day and brought this.

I've unboxed it, and only played around for a few minutes with it. I like the wired/wireless remote/timer/interval control. Not something I would have found on my own, but neat none the same.

I like the 60d, I am only down to two bodies and two lenses for what I need and do.

my 60 has the 28-300 and my 5d is using the 10-22. not much else I need unless I get into some serious macro

I still haven't decided what I'm going to do with my old 30D. I may just keep it as a backup, or have it converted to IR.

my 5d is using the 10-22.

did you modify your lens so an EF-S lens can fit the 5D? and if so, how crazy is the vignetting wide open and @ 10mm?

you can modify the lens to fit a full frame??

Ya, it involves removing plastic parts of the lens so that it doesn't interfere with the mirror. Then it will vignette pretty badly as it isn't meant to cover a full frame sensor.

Geez, that's big bucks. Doesn't the 60D have an intervalometer built in anyway?

I picked up a Phottix something-or-other on eBay for $30 that does wireless. The intervalometer is built into my D300, so the remote doesn't have to do it.

Enjoy the new camera, though!

My girlfriend bought me a Bluetooth GPS attachment plus a GPS receiver. Definitely a cool combo - the attachment on the camera is minimal (not quite as small as the Unleashed, but very close) and the Bluetooth attachment can then be stored in a backpack or something. For long trips, I think I'll pick up a battery pack with a USB output and just leave it attached to the GPS receiver.

I bought the package from B&H. It was the only one with a grip. They were out of body only kits, so getting the lens was no biggie. I'm going to play with the lens for a while, and if I'm not ecstatic with it, I'll just ebay it.

I don't know if the 60D has an intervalometer built in, I'll have to read the manual. I may play with the video feature, but I don't think I'll use it on a regular basis.

I have the same intervalometer, but the wired version. REALLY nice 3rd party stuff right there. Didn't see the wireless one, but at twice the price, I probably would have skipped it anyways as I'm a cheap bastard.

I can use that wired or wireless. BigT can also use it with her camera. If I get a different camera, all I need is a different cord to connect it to the camera.

Wired, I can connect the connection cord directly between the hand held unit and the camera. For wireless, the cord goes between the receiver and the camera.

Ya I checked it out on BH. Cool idea, better than having to buy 2 for 2 different bodies if they need different plugs. Using the intervalometer a bunch lately for kicks over the winter.
