My guess is that the main weakness of the iS series AF system is the single 
point
AF. This for instance makes it difficult to focus on small and fast moving 
objects
like an aircraft in the sky. I hope the next iS camera (hopefully released 
within
a year) will show an improvement in this. Otherwise the AF system is quite
adequate for all situations (at least that of the iS-3 / iS-3000; can't speak 
for
the others).
