I forgot to say this: Anyone - even I - can sometimes get one sharp action shot - one way or the other. But please show me 5 sharp shots (burst) in a row of a fast moving object using a D or a K10D. I have tried to do this with the SAFOX VIII autofocus system. Without any success. Regards Jens Bl

Let's stick some thinking in here. 44% of the ice is floating. That means it would have no effect on sea level. 38% is resting on ground. However a lot of that is below sea level and would that portion would actually lower sea level if as it melts. The portion above sea level would increase th

RE: *istD AF

It sounds to me that what you both really want is good manual focus. Thats what I prefer. AF to me it really only good/necessary with action where you just cant keep up manually focussing. For everything else, which is the majority of stuff in my case, I just want really nice, ultra smooth, manual
