comment Better 10-22mm lens for Canon
If you're willing to go full frame sensor, the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 is a good option. It give you the same field of view as with the 10-22 on an APS-C camera. This will be expensive though...

comment Better 10-22mm lens for Canon
Sorry, I should have put the full name in. Both lenses only fit on cameras with APS-C sized sensor.

comment Better 10-22mm lens for Canon
Going from f3.5 to f2.8 only gives you about 2/3-stop. Have you considered a less wide lens with OS/IS? They give you 3-4 stops. You wont find any as wide as the 10-22, but if you can live with 17 as the widest, the Canon 17-55 F2.8 IS is a very nice lens. The Canon 15-85 F/3.5-5.6 IS is a different alternative.

comment Better 10-22mm lens for Canon
I have to ask, do you have trouble with taking photos because the aperture is "only" 3.5-4.5? If you're hoping to get a lot more bokeh from a 2.8 lens you should read these questions too: photo.stackexchange.com/questions/8451/… photo.stackexchange.com/questions/10079/… and photo.stackexchange.com/questions/9624/…

comment What lens design limits derive from the width of the lens mount?
Do you mean the width of the ring itself, or the total width of the mount?

comment What remotes are available for the Canon EOS 60D?
I can confirm that the 60D does have a 2.5mm connector, not the N3-type. Should be possible to find this information in the manual.

comment Which Camera is better to take photo of wild birds?
A DSLR would be better, but also much more costly. And with your budget (assuming it's 1100 USD) you wont get enough reach with a DSLR.

comment What are the cons of a backpack-style camera bag?
I've ended up wanting a Kata 3N1-20 (kata-bags.us/…) - but the Primus AW looked good.

It seems that Lowepro Primus AW is not discontinued. I haven't found a similar model from Lowepro.

comment Is there good free software for editing Canon RAW files?
You don't answer the question though. You give a verbose description on your workflow, but it's not answering the question.

comment What size should I print at for gallery shows?
Why did you stop at 8Mpx? Few cameras (newer than 3-5 years) have that low resolution.

comment Is it true that there are no stabilized prime lenses (and if so, why)?
As of end of Q1 2012 Canon released several new primes with IS, including a 24 and 28mm.
