Some of the claims I've seen made by bird photographers almost make me
believe you have to have a C*anon with IS. Apparently there is a mode which
is claimed to work extremely well for panning birds in flight. It does seem
like the majority of really good pic's are coming from C*anons. I'm glad
Stephen has given me reason to hang onto my Zuikos a little longer ;^)
