After over a month of hibernation in my camera bag (due to my busy schedule), my
new camera finally flexed its AF muscle at action - surfing at nearby San Juan
beach.
The skies were overcast, and this muted the colors, but I quickly found out that the much acclaimed AF performance of this full frame body deserves its reputation.
Sometimes, I do miss the faster fps and narrower FOV of my 1D4 and 7D, but the 5D3's 6 fps is certainly adequate to catch the peak moments. The numerous AF points allowed framing flexibility via off-center points in AI servo.
