AI SERVO - all the way baby! ;) But yeah a fast lens is the key i think... more light = quicker autofocusing from the camera as far as i am aware :) Manual is to hit and miss for me i think esp with low f numbers/dof. That is from my very limited experience of taking shots of birds in flight... as for low light photography... i have no clue - maybe get some 1million candle flashlight ;)

Looking forward to the articles Danny :)
