Thanks. That's what I would expect since the reports are that it was based
on the Elan model. Some, who may or may not have used a Canon before, have
indicated problems. However the reports are not uniform which indicates
user error could be involved to some extent.

Perhaps that's the problem.

Some users have suggested single shot mode works best with custom function
#2 using the * button for autofocus control. The complaint was that it
focus on the background after a player passed by but could not snap back to
the next player quickly enough. Since I have not tried to photograph
basketball, I couldn't say if even my A2 could do that.
