Just announced at midnight is the 60D, 4 lenses and upgraded teleconverters.

60D- You need to be a member to view our links.
EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM- You need to be a member to view our links.
EF 8-15mm f/4 L USM fisheye zoom lens- You need to be a member to view our links.
EF 300mm f/2.8 L IS II USM and EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM- You need to be a member to view our links.
EF Extender 1.4x III and EF Extender 2x III- You need to be a member to view our links.

I'm very interested in that 70-300.  Numerous times I've found myself wanting a wider end and a better IS system on my 100-400.

Yay.  My new camera - assuming tests come back good...

Not really interested in any of the new lenses.

Edit:

Oh no, you're kidding, no Micro Focus Assist?  That's what I wanted.  Unbelievable.  Boy did Canon screw that one up.  The 50D had it, the 60D doesn't?  Ugh...

Wow, I thought all future D-series cameras would have that.  Pretty much like a 50D but with video and the tilt screen.

Yep, me too.  I guess now I have to save up and get the 7D.  If I hadn't so much Canon hardware I would seriously consider jumping ship.  Argh...

Supposedly there are a lot of people contacting Canon about the micro-adjust issue.  They're saying it could be added by a firmware upgrade so you never know, Canon could listen and add it.

Edit- Just emailed them, here's the link if curious...You need to be a member to view our links. ... 

I'm not getting one regardless as I have the 7D, just thought I'd help everyone else.

I can't imagine that they would add this feature after the fact.  But I guess it's worth a try.  Thanks.
