If you're going to do a lot of focus tracking, then the A2 or even the 1N might not be the camera for you. I'd recommend the newer EOS-3 or even the EOS-30/33. One reason I upgraded to an EOS-3 is for its superb focus tracking. A couple of weeks back I had a chance to try out both my EOS-3 and the EOS-30 together - tracking moving cars on a busy road. Surprisingly, they were both able to keep up with fast moving cars. I used a 100/2.8 USM and a 200/2.8 L. If you're on a tight budget I'd suggest you seriously consider the EOS-30. When I use only the centre focusing point, its AF tracking was as good as my EOS-3 in decent light. I haven't tried focus tracking on the EOS-30 indoors on in dimly lit situations - I'm guessing the 3 will perform better. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
