Yes, and it took even Nikon years to catch up. Even the D2's aren't as fast to AF as 1998's EOS 3. But you can't get into the uber-fast Canon's for reasonable money(A 1DmIIN is the ebst bet, in the $3000+ range). Right now it looks like the low-cost AF king will be the D300 from Nikon. The 30D/40D are pretty good though. Less accurate than the Pentax's, but they get there a fair bit faster. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
