You'll have to wait until tomorrow for them - I have a full days motorsport shooting to give the AF a proper work out and see just how good it is.

At least you're going out and using it straight away rather than pretending to shoot it and posting on here about it :p Have fun!

First impression is that it is noticably heavier than my 50D, and the button operation feels much more like my 1D mk II than the xxD cameras. All of the switches and dials seem to have a very positive action to them. I would be surprised if you could accidently knock them from one setting to another without knowing it.

I'll say more (if I get the chance) later tonight once the battery is charged and I've actually switched the bloomin' thing on :lol:
