Any dealer listed on the Canon website can get one for you. I got mine from Team Digital.

Select '
Digital SLR Cameras - Pro' in the Sub-Category to filter out the crap (like JB Hifi, Retravision and Dick Smith etc etc)
I posted some first-light images a while back. I was just testing the portable kit in which every item was new: Mount, Cam, Scope, Power, Guider... problems were inevitable!!
They're only
single unguided exposures in less than ideal conditions. Sadly I haven't had the chance to get back out and get serious.
The Rho shot(#1) was the very first image I took with my Da and it looked amazing when the proofing shot popped up on the back of the camera after the exposure, all the colour was there. I really got a kick out of that!
Modding a vanilla 60D is an option, but if you think you might like to keep your warranty and/or use a genuine AC adaptor for power, the Da is the way to go.
If AC power and lack of warranty doesn't concern you, you may save about $500 going the modded route.
