The photo might have been cropped so that we are not exactly sure where the focus point is.

I shoot college and high school womens gymnastics. On the really fast moving stuff, the 5dm2 can't and won't keep up. How do you mean "the 5dm2 can't and won't keep up", af?

The 1d and the 5dm2 are is different leagues. When a gymnast is doing a FULL sprint towards you, the 1d series can keep up. The 5dm2 can't and won't. Try this at a basketball game while the player is on FULL run with a 200mm focal length lens. If you have a shorter lens like the 135/2, it might have a chance, but not with the 200. I've tried many times! And that's with the 200/2.0L EF IS lens, which is arguably THE fastest focusing lens in the Canon lineup! I'm not talking about a "scan" from infinity to closest point, I'm talking about actual tracking. If you shoot with a shorter focal length lens, the 5dm2 MIGHT track well, depending on the focal length you are using. The 1D on longer focal lengths will just nail the shot whereas the 5d can't. Processing power of the AF. I would second this, the 5d mk1 I have found is better at AF than the 20/30/40d but yards behind the 1dmk3 especially in low light.
