What People Are Saying Give it to me straight
Focus
by TechRadar (Jul, 2007)As mentioned, the return to focus point control can now be assigned to the multi-controller.
by TechRadar (Jul, 2007)Not in terms of performance - it proved positive and fast, locking on and tracking small subjects in the frame with precision in our tests - but in terms of the way you select your focus point.
by TechRadar (Jul, 2007)The mirror has to be locked up to achieve this, metering is set to evaluative and you'll only be able to focus manually (a section of the image can be enlarged to aid with this and we found it worked well).
Sensor
by TechRadar (Jul, 2007)The new dedicated ISO button placed on the right-hand side of the top plate enables one-handed operation, speeding up reaction time when the pressure's on.
by TechRadar (Jul, 2007)Shots taken at high ISOs and for longer exposures do start to look a little noisier in the shadows though.
Lens
by TechRadar (Jul, 2007)We found this a good option for crowd scenes - the 3-inch screen gives a wide angle of view, while a grid overlay helps refine framing when you're holding the camera at unusual angles.
Battery
by TechRadar (Jul, 2007)This blistering rate works as long as the battery's got enough capacity - you can also reduce the high and low drive speeds via a custom menu if you don't need to burn frames at quite such a rate.
Autofocus
by TechRadar (Jul, 2007)An autofocus lock button replaces the focus-point return button (whose useful function which can now be assigned to the multi-controller above the quick control dial).
