Okay so I have the above and I was out shooting today. I was trying to shoot some birds that were flying in. They were single birds at about 60' coming in to about 15', then shooting off. I was almost unable to capture ANY usable images as the focusing on the camera just would not lock on. I tried the 51 point, 9 point and center and couldn't get anything.
I had the Canon 40D with 70-200 f4L and I never tried to shoot flying birds but for some reason I think the Canon was significantly faster at focusing. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Should I try to manually focus for things like this?
Really looking for help from other nature photographers.
Thanks!
Mike
