Hi Josh, Thinking back to when I took the pictures of my daughter during her gymnastics routine, I'm not sure if I had the tracking speed set to "long" or "short". But with my Canon 7D, it seemed to track better no matter what tracking speed I had it set to. Perhaps I didn't have the optimal settings set when I was using it at her gym.

Hi There, I read your D3x review at cameralabs.com and there was one thing that slightly perplexed me. You said" I was also disappointed to discover how poorly it had tracked-focus in this environment. Most of my shots were blurry and unsalvageable" I am not sure why this would be. I own a D3 (which has the same AF unit as the D3X, D3S, and D700) and I find it to have very good tracking abilities even in low light. I wondering if you AF focus tracking speed was set to "long" instead of "short". Other than that I agreed with your review and hope that you enjoy the 1D-X when it is released. Cheers, Josh

Hi Svein, yes I've checked out Magic Lantern before. I actually just revisited their site the other day to see if they've updated their product to work with the 7D and unfortunately, they haven't. But yes, for the 5D Mk II, it would definitely be something of interest.

Read your Nikon D3x Review at cameralabs. Have you checked out "Magic Lantern"? I don't think it will help you on a 7D, but I believe that it might solve your bracketing problem on a 5D Mk II, and also on some less expenisive models.
