Re: SL1 probably better focusing than XSi ...

Last Sunday I tried the SL1/100d + 55-250 stm in a kids soccer competition. Afternoon sun, good light. Distance from players roughly 50 meters. Mainly aperture mode 5.6 with an average of  1/500. I bought the camera recently and it was the first time I used it for sport. I have to admit that the keepers were very few and not perfect. I switched from "one shot" to "AI servo", but without an apparent improvement. Very likely I will give it a second try, but for sure SL1 will require a lot more practice to get a good number of decent shots with kids running with a ball. I never tried a 7D with moving objects (I don't own one).

my 2 cents...
