If I buy the 60D I wonder if it's worth it to get it with one of the kit lenses. 18-135 or 18-200.

I bought it with the 18-200mm and paid $1249 complete. The body alone was $1199...

The 60D is capable of Master function with remote slave flashes (480EX and up)

480? I see no 480, only 430.

It is the 430.

Amazon has the 60D with 18-200 kit lens for $1299, then another ~275 for a flash should I choose to get one. Hmmm...

Enablers.

B&H pricing looks competitive with Amazon, but I get $3.99/item overnight shipping with Prime.

Also, any point in selling my Rebel XS, or should I just hold on to it.

I'd sell it unless you want to use it as a back up. A lot of photographers like switching cameras instead of switching lenses, so if you are ever in that situtation, it comes in handy. If you're not going to ever use it again, I'd sell it now and get more for it. Otherwise it will likely just collect dust.

Looks like they aren't worth much so probably better to hold on to it as a backup.

I'm good at one thing and one thing only... wasting money.

I trolled my fiancee to be able to buy this. I changed my FB status to "engaged" (even though we were engaged a while ago) and when she "liked" it I said, "can I get a 60D as an engagement present?"

Wasting money happens to be my forte as well

Well I still haven't pulled the trigger. Wondering if I should get the 430 ex ii as well. It would definitely help with indoor lower light stuffs.
