OK, I'm going to purchase the following:

1) Canon EOS 60D Digital SLR (body only)
2 Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
3) Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM

The 7D on paper is a better camera; "sophisticated AF system, more rugged build (magnesium body), better weather sealing, faster frame rate, 100% VF and longer shutter life." - Rich (thank you for your information Rich).

However, I like the 60D's video capabilities, the lower price tag (almost 40% less), the lighter size of the 60D (yet it's still partially weather sealed), and the rotating lcd screen better. I will not be shooting in the rain or shooting scenes that 8 shots per second is makes a difference, (not for a couple years at least).

The IQ from many websites, forums and people I talk to is nearly equal. The 60D is also a better first camera for armature photographers.

My goal is to learn photography with the EOS 60D Digital SLR and shoot with the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM and the EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM, then purchase a FF camera in 3-5 years and continue to use the EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM and other lenses I purchase throughout my journey with the FF camera.

I am looking for a third lens to purchase that will fit well with my plan.

Do you have any thoughts / suggestions on a third lens that fits well with the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS US and Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM and will be usable on a FF camera in 3-5 years?

This forum has been the most helpful tool in my journey, and I thank you all for your responses; each response has been very appreciated.

Thank you again,
Bruce
