Hmm, I've got some nice shots of birds in flight with my 10d. I haven't shot that many in flight, but the ones I have shot, I've got some good ones. I'm just learning to pan with them, and mostly I don't have too much opportunity to shoot them in flight. But, since it's based on the AF of the EOS 7, isn't that supposed to be the latest and greatest? Perhaps with less sensors than the 3, but as far as servo tracking? Where did you hear it couldn't shoot moving stuff? Why don't you rent or borrow one and try it on some flying birds. first image here has an Egret coming in for landing: http://www.kjsl.com/~jbdavis/galleries/birds/great_egrets/great_egrets.html couple herons in flight here: http://www.kjsl.com/~jbdavis/galleries/birds/herons2/herons2.html pretty decent Egret flying here: http://www.kjsl.com/~jbdavis/galleries/new_stuff/new_stuff.html Jim Davis Nature Photography http://www.kjsl.com/~jbdavis/ * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
