My 20d replacement has just arrived, the 40d. I have read some reviews on DP forum where they are saying that focus tracking on a moving bird is poor as the focus quickly locks onto the background, but it will refocus back again quicker than the 20d.
I havent had time to use it yet, has anyone had problems tracking small birds in flight with the 40d. (I wouldn't be surprised if it was down to using a short lens or poor tracking skills). I use a 400mm F5.6 and have a steady arm so I was expecting an improvement over the 20d, I hope I don't regret this purchase?!
I appreciate that some people on that forum may have poor tracking skills, wrong lens types, poor copies etc so I dont always believe what I read, what do you guys (who own a 40d) think?
Thanks
