Hi Gang,
I searched some more and found some more information. The EOS 3 has the same
spec as the EOS-1v (above), according to Jonathon Kwok's EOS3 review:
http://www.picture-perfect.net/Eos3review.shtml
"... When used with an EF300mm f/2.8L USM lens, it can track a subject moving
at 50km/h (31mph) to distances as close as 8m (26ft) -- incidentally, this is
also exactly the same AF tracking performance claimed by Nikon for the new F100
with an AF-S 300mm lens. ..."
But most interestingly, the Canon UK press release for the EOS 30 states:
http://www.canon.co.uk/press/24_08_2000.html
"... Outstanding high speed focus tracking is achieved using a 32bit micro-
computer and high speed predictive algorithm. When used with Canon's EF 300mm
f/2.8L IS USM lens the camera can track a moving subject approaching at a
speed of 50kph (sic) up to as close as 8 meters, this is as fast as Canon's
top-of-the-range EOS 1V and EOS 3. ..."
[Note: "50kph" should be 50 km/h, which is 30 mph]
Cheers
