Might be just poor technique or wrong settings.

This was center point only, fast walk towards the subject. Can't release due to NDA. The 30th frame was SLIGHTLY blurry.

I don't really know any sports or bird photographer who uses ROF anyway, I very seldom do. I would still wait for some more serious reports, not worry about a 1-minute "test" from a photo expo using a pre-production camera. Anders Östberg - Mostly Canon gear - My photos

I like ROF for bird in flight but my mk2 made a better job of it than mk mk3, the mk3 was very hit and miss but bang on with centre point.

Add a messy background of trees or even worse glittering water and my success rate drops right through the floor. Anders Östberg - Mostly Canon gear - My photos

Although I don't think they are as good as they were a year ago, but they will have stock and it will get sent out pretty soon if it says so. Photographic Images on Brett Butler

Digital Rev is a very well respected ebay store in the UK and Australia. Many people use them - grey imports are usually a lot cheaper than the high prices we have to put up with.

I note though it is not on the uk price one. that is a pretty good price to.. HMM just noticed something I have never seen before on Digital Rev, it is a bidding auction, they always have a buy me now auctions, interesting, maybe they playing this time on a gamble I got my 40D from Digital rev and that was in auction.

DwightMcCann so, what are we talking about?  21,402 posts Likes: 44 Joined Feb 2005 Location: Buellton, California, USA More info | Dec 20, 2009 12:24 | #1244 bigrob wrote in post #9228755 Well it definitely looks like some in the UK & USA will have theirs next week. I don't get my redundancy cheque until the first week of Feb, so I'll be reading all the reports on it & keeping fingers crossed it's as good as it looks like it's going to be. Mk IV and 300 2.8 IS here we come. Have to decide on the 100 2.8L IS Macro of 135L as well. My boys are getting me the CP-E4 power pack for Xmas as I've been a good boy this year  You will be happy with either the 135mm or new 100mm 'L' macro ... I have both. If you don't need the very fast speed of the 135mm I'd urge the 100mm as it is simply stunning, light as a feather and the IS is unimaginable ... all just like the adverts say! Dwight McCann
