Er, I beg to differ. I was shooting some fairground dodgems at ISO 1600
in very low light with purple laser beams spitting everywhere and I had
few problems. I didn't use manual focus because I was too busy zooming in
and out on a 70-200. If I hadn't had to zoom, I would have probably
focussed manually, but in the event i was pleased with the results.

>From my point of view, I agree that Canon 20D AF, as well as Pentax *istD
AF and Nikon D100 / D70 AF would not have coped. D2h AF would have. 1D
did. It's just a shame that there is no higher tier of Pentax to be able
to cope with that situation. Until maybe next year?
