How is this feature in 1V and EOS 30? I leafed through 1V "technical overview" but
couldn't get confirmation for this detail. And EOS 30 is pretty unfamiliar for me. I
am specially interested, because I would like to use my 28-135 and change the body
within couple of months to a model that can make fast series of shoots with that. I
photo mainly fast and moving object (boats), so this detail is important for me. EOS 3
has been in my mind, but should I now go over or under it?
