Hi Jim, Minolta's best AF'ing pro film cameras do indeed AF better and more reliably under low light conditions than Canon's pro film cameras can with whatever AF technology they use. It's also well established that the Minolta AF bodies can't AF on moving subjects nearly as well as even the better EOS bodies let along the top gun models. Personally I don't shoot much in the dark but I do shoot a lot of moving stuff, you know my choice.
