Ok I got up early and Michelle my wife was sick, so I had to skip the Rennfest. I did get to go and get some photos close to the house I just had to get some time in with it. Some impressions from the fist brief usage, are that the AF very fast I was using 9 point center AF in servo mode it locks up quick and holds AF lock better that the 1D no question. Donald the ETTL ll seams to be a large improvement also. Randy
