    Which AF points when using AI servo

    unless u are very sure u can keep the subject relatively fixed within the centre focusing point, choose all AF points. it will first use the centre AF point to focus, and if the subject moves away, the other AF points would be able to track it.

    burst rate decreases during AI Servo focus mode?

    when i used AI Servo to focus on a stationary structure and compared with the normal one shot focus, the latter had a higher burst rate quite close to 5fps while the former had a burst rate of only about 2fps. shutter speed used in both instances were faster than 1/500s so i dun think shutter...

    burst rate decreases during AI Servo focus mode?

    canon viewfinder magnifier for 20d?

    hi all just wondering if there is a canon viewfinder magnifier available for the 20d? cos i find it quite hard to manual focus using the small viewfinder esp for macros. i know there's a right angle finder but i'm not always taking low level pics. besides it's expensive;p thanks.

    UV filter or Cir-PL filter ???

    from what i know a polariser works best when the sun is at a low angle in the sky, thus using it after 5pm should yield stronger polarisation :)
