I did something I swore I'd never do myself and had
scorned others as talentless and without skill for
doing so. I put the camera into continuous drive and
AF servo mode and went machine gunning. I almost feel
embarrassed to own up to it :-S
But Wendy, I only ever shoot in that mode - yet I have had my latest digital incarnation since October and shot only 1629 images. AI Servo and continuous drive mode are similar to a film camera for me. I tried shooting in single shot mode once only, and instantly hated it. The camera makes you *wait* until a shot's in focus? No way.
I have AF set up thus: a half press on the shutter button starts AE (usually aperture priority), and if I want AF, then I use my thumb on a button on the back. Usually I focus manually.
Just because it's this newfangled digital, doesn't mean I have to change
my shooting habits! To me it's just a big bulky MX.
Don't forget ugly...
Cheers, Cotty

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
