Hello Patrick I did som testing with my D in regards to action photogrphy. The D is not a sports camera -IMO - although I know some list members will tend to disagree. The AF is not the fastest on the planet - and write speed is rather slow. The same goes for the DS, except the write speed is doubled, I believe. Look at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/sets/72057594048128913/
For wide angle shots it's naturally different - you may not need to focus at all - you may use zone focusing at F.8- F.16.

Hi, I tend to be a lurker most of the time but I surface every now and again with a query or two. I'm seriously considering an ist-d or ist-ds enablement and have a question i'd like to throw your way. It concerns the suitability of the ist-d/ds for certain types of shooting. Namely fast action sports such as Motocross / Skateboarding / BMX etc.... I will be able go get very close to the action so the lenses that I would typically use are short zooms e.g 16-45 and maybe 70-200 probably a sigma 70-200. Comments welcome especially from list members with hands on experience shooting this type of sports. -- Regards Patrick Genovese -- No virus found in this incoming message.
