whoa, some decent deals. I'd say, price match at Memory Express for an extra 5% off.
Thanks!

How are SLIK tripods? I am using a cheap ebay tripod and definitely feel like I need an upgrade http://www.bccamera.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=3750
The 60D is a really good deal with the 18-200 only $1269

Yeah those are some good prices, especially for local.
60D body for $1029.99... that's pretty much the same they cost in the US ($999.99).

the body only ^ ? or with with 18-200 lens?
what exactly is this memory express?
might jump on this deal.
Or just get the body from the US ($1000 flat price) with free shipping + free 16GB SD Sandisk memory card. Wouldn't want the 18-200 lens anyways, seems like a beginner lens.

the 18-200 is definitely not a beginner lens. It's an all-around lens, great for taking on trips and stuff if you don't want to carry more than one lens. But if you're a stickler for sharp photos, then I wouldn't suggest it - but it definitely beats carry a few lenses with you. even then, you could buy it at Mem Express and sell it on craigslist and make a profit if you'd like.

Yeah I got it with the lens. That lens is worth quite a bit of money. I figured if u bought 3 packages and sold the lens and 2 of the bodies you could be looking at a free 60D
Memory express has really good service too. I had a really good first time shopping experience. Treated me better than BC or lens & shutter ever did.
Haha I'm thinking of refunding though and get my native friend to get it price matched and tax free at park royal Posted via RS Mobile
They didn't have any tripods comparable to the broadway one though. The 60d is pretty fun haha I think I'll be getting rid of the 7D

I've read that the slik sprint pro II has a carrying limit of 2kg, should I still jump on it?
I'm thinking of getting a 70-200 lens and I'm worried it'll be too heavy with my 60D :/

I have the slik sprint pro original lying around from my p&s days. There is no chance of it being sturdy enough for a 70-200 and 60D. I took it with me as a light carry on for my trip to england, and it could BARELY hold up my 5D and 17-40. legs were ok ish, but the ball head scared me.
