"Also, it says in my manual that with fast moving subjects, focus adjustments may not be able to keep up." It also probably says that you can focus in advance _on the area_ where your subject is approximately going to be. As to continuous mode lowered from 8 to 2 MP, what kind of camera does that? Unless you are really shooting in a continuous mode, ten million pics one after the other. :-)

BTW, with animals, you can take one lucky shot, like I did with that seal on the link*, or you can take tons of pics to capture the moment you want. It's no wonder successful animal documentaries are shot over several years. :-) * Absolutely no cropping or correction, just size reduction in Photoshop. The seal's just where I wanted it to be and it looked towards me and there's even a reflection from the wall on the head, helping to better see the eye. OTOH, I could post a "successful" pic of a sea lion, where all you see is his back, cause I couldn't catch him the way I wanted nohow. :-) When you're taking a five year old kid to the zoo, there's really not much time for photography.
