I don't do much photography if this sort, but I have shot a couple of football (soccer) matches. Once with the D60, and once with the 1DmII. The difference was overwhelming, but I put that down to the 'ancient' technology in the D60. Having used the *ist Ds, I now appreciate how good the AF in the 1D is. I've said it many times in the past, but if I knew then what I know now, I would not have purchased a new D60, I would have gone for a used 1D (yes, the original 4MP camera). The quick reaction of the AF is pretty impressive, in both low light and low contrast subjects. I'll bring the 70-200 2.8 so Bill can have a play at GFM. All we need now is a few snarling dogs... -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
