Still sucks compared to not having to do half shutter presses and having the SR ready to go instantly by enabling it ahead of time. I really hate ANY half presses to take a picture. I dont mind it for metering or other features but to take a picture, I want to just press the button fast without any half presses on the shutter release at all. jco

I would guess that's what the sports photogs do when shooting with their long Canon IS glass.
