I don\'t think I underestimate it at all, AF is the single biggest gap in the XXD series to the 1 series, and it\'s the single biggest advantage to going to a 1 series. Sure you gain weather sealing, better viewfinder, little better IQ/ISO, little more frame rate in the 1dmk3, more custom functions, but the one killer is the AF. Its the one thing that keeps you from getting images of fast action and there\'s no work around for it.
The D300 has an AF gap to the D700 not as much as the XXD to the 1 series, it has more of a IQ/ISO gap to the D700. The D700 has less ISO/IQ gap to the D3/D3x and again a small AF gap, along with a frame rate gap.
But I\'ll play, what do YOU want in the XXD AF performance?
What % of the 1 series AF do you think the current 50D is at?
What % of the 1 series AF do you want the 60D to be at, and at what price point?
