I have used the EOS 5/A2, EOS 3, and EOS 30/Elan 7. Of the three, the 3 seems to
me to have the fastest release time. I no longer have the EOS 5, but when
switching from the Elan 7 to the EOS 3 I almost always end up exposing a frame
inadvertently. This is due largely to the greater sensitivity of the shutter
button on my 3, but the lag also seems less on the 3. However, I have to say
that with both bodies the release seems virtually instantaneous in most
situations.
I don't use ECF on the 3, but I have tried it a few times and the camera
certainly achieves focus more quickly when using just the center sensor than
with ECF engaged. AF speed with the 3 is also increased slightly when using the
PB-E2 with the NiMH battery pack--focus speed is a function of the interaction
between the body and lens and will vary depending on the combination.

This is interesting. F1 cars are generating 850 hp and running at 18,500 rpm;
what are they getting in CART?
