Yeah, I'm certainly not an expert sports photographer and I've shot exactly two basketball games in my life. I shot one immediately after getting my 1D4. It was indoor at night, lighting was horrific, fast action, and all I had was my trusty 1D4 and 70-200 that hasn't been calibrated by Canon.
Here are a few shots from that night.
I found that even in my novice hands the 1D4 made easy work of the action. I simply put the AF point I wanted on the subject, set the camera to auto ISO and Tv mode so I could select my shutter speed and poof, instant pictures that were in focus.
I also had the chance to shoot the Chicago polar bears. This time I was outside (bitter cold - 18 degrees for 2 hours) and there was ample light. Again, outstanding performance even though I was using gloves the size of Texas trying to keep my hands warm... the buttons worked flawlessly despite my gloved handicap and the camera rocked the event with in focus shots and amazing clarity.
Rob can tell me how bad the camera sucks all he likes, but I know from first hand experience this camera works. Hell, even under the same poor lighting and fast action Rob was talking about having problems with, I seemed to do just fine. Perhaps I should be doing his reviews for him.
