How does the high-speed sync work with the 3? I was under the impression
that it severly limited the range of the flash and rendered it useless for
sports.

My wife was kind enough one day to call around to almost every camera store
in the metroplex and no one would rent an EOS 3 with 80-200/2.8 etc... I
understand about not loaning equipment, I wouldn't do it over an email list
either. :)

Thanks. If I switch it'll prolly be to the EOS 3. The ecf feature really
intrigues me, but then I've read that alot of ppl simply switch AF to only
the central point. *shrugs* I really don't know... I'm still not even 50%
sure that I want to switch at all. :)
