<p>I always found that this article does a pretty good job at explaining it as well.<br>

<p>Congrats on your camera! Canon's Digital Learning Center site has some articles on the 60D.</p>

<p>I use this option especially for shooting sports. It definitely comes in handy when you track a player coming down the field.<br>

Canon USA has put out an article about this subject in the past.<br>

<p>I'd check out Canon's Digital Learning Center http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=3167&productID=329&articleTypeID=48</p>

<p>It is video # 11 and 12</p>

<p>Congrats Igor!</p>

<p>I have a few bags however, if I am walking anywhere, i'll always take my Lowepro Slingshot AW 200. <br>

I can fit a body (5D with a grip), 100-400L, 24-105, and a third lens in the main compartment, a flash with omnibounce attached in the top compartment, filters in the pocket on the front and inside the main compartments flap there is a built in card wallet and lens cloth.<br>

In bad weather, there is a rainshell tucked away underneath the bag which covers the entire bag which I landed up using last week.<br>

Good luck with your search!</p>

<p>Lior,<br /> You have a few options to achieve this depending on how much you want to spend, how far you want the speedlite from the body and if you want to retain ETTL<br>

<br /> For a quick and dirty, you can attach a cable with 2 PC ports to go from the PC sync on the camera to the pc sync on the flash. This leaves you with No ETTL though.<br>

<br /> A bit pricier is going with a wireless system like Pocketwizards/Skyports/Cactus triggers which you will not have ETTL as well.<br>

<br /> If you want to preserve ETTL, you can to go with something like the Canon ST-E2 which goes on the hotshoe and will remotely trigger your flash.<br>

<br /> Good luck! off flash shooting is a whole other side of photography. You should check out strobist.com if you haven't already for off camera flash info.</p>

Canon has an online guide to choosing the right lens. Check it out, it might help a bit

They also have a pretty good guide to learn shutter speed, aperture etc.

Like the other responses, I would take the 70-200 as well as the 50 f/1.4.

I would also <b>strongly</b> recommend that if you can borrow the MarkIII a few days in advance to do so. Reason being, if you have never shot with a 1D camera, it will be very confusing to use your first time. The 1D cameras require multiple button presses for each action. It is severely different from a 300D in terms of operations.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

I just wanted to add that the <a href="http://www.usa.canon.com/templatedata/pressrelease/20050602_eos20da.html">EOS 20Da</a> had a live preview as well.

To the original poster, welcome to the great world of DSLRs :)
