*istD AF

[Jens Bladt]

True, Cotty - my point exactly.
When the issue is the AF capability of the K10D - I guess it's fair to say,
that it does not represent a vast improvement as far as action shooting is
concerned.
This camera (or any Pentax camera for that matter) is not especially
designated to action shooting.
For this purpose other brands offer more obvious choises, allthough at a
very different price level.

One thing you must remember here is that the Canon system you describe
is found on the 1D series, which is an order of magnitude in price above
the level that the K10D is set at. It would be more appropriate to
compare the K10D to Canon examples such as the 30D. If you want follow-
focus ability on a professional level, you cannot expect it at the price
point you are using.
