Sorry, I have been misled by this article in the magazine I mentioned,
who described this behavior quite in detail! (Unless this feature
actually exists in the DL, but not in the DS2, which I have to doubt
about!).
Best regards

P.S: I'll contact this magazine and try to figure out
Godfrey, all ring type USM or AF-S lenses have this feature. The only
other lenses that do are the Pentax ones and the Canon 50mm f1.4 USM
which is the only micro-motor USM lens to be clutched (Pentax uses the
same trick to get the feature). It's very useful, and I badly miss it on
my Tamron
You mean EF-S rather than AF-S. Yes, Adam, I'm aware of the
differences between various types of Canon lenses. I have several of
them, after all. ;-)
I await the D-FA versions of the Pentax 35/2 AL, 50/1.4 and 77/1.8.

Nope, I mean AF-S, the Nikon USM equivalent. Any ring-type AF-S lens
also offers full time manual focus (the only two Nikon micro-motor AF-S
lenses are the 18-55 DX and 55-200 DX)

This feature consists in the following: in AF-C mode, when the AF locks
on the subject, the AF mechanical coupling automatically disengages
(like if you switched to MF manually), so you can retouch the focus
manually. Releasing and half-depressing the shutter button again
re-activates the AF

I think you are describing the QuickShift feature of the DA and D-FA
lenses, Patrice. Has nothing to do with the DS2. DA lenses on the DS
and D act the same way. It usually does NOT work in AF-Continuous
mode, however, as the body/lens is supposed to be focusing
continuously. It's designed

A sad thing about this larger screen is that they only changed its size,
not its resolution. That is, the screen

I've not noticed a major difference between the two in either speed or
function and if there is a difference in battery life with the larger
screen it hasn't been bad enough to slap me in the face (at least at
this point). The larger screen is nice, and is somewhat easier on my
Paul,
What speed(s) are the SD cards that you're using?
Godfrey thought that the DS2 could take advantage of cards with speeds of
up to 133X or so, iirc. IAC, if you're using slower cards, you might not
notice any write speed difference.

Shel,
You're right in your premise that I'm not using high speed cards. For
what I do, the inexpensive (read that cheap ;0) cards have a sufficient
write speed. With faster cards the buffer will clear a little faster so
if one is shooting lots of continuous action there would be an
