Re: How is the SL1 for Shooting Outdoor Sports?

I've had my SL1 for about a week and tried to photograph runners for just the 2nd time today. I found a site that offered advice of 1/500 shutter, AI Servo, and ISO 200-400. It was a bright yet cloudy day, I went with 400. It did quite well, judging from a compliment from a friend with a Mark III who was auto on most his pics. I used the spot-point focus and found I really needed to keep it on my runner, or it would happily take them out of focus. Anyway, very impressed from a sub-$300 refurb. I look forward to seeing more of what i can learn on a SL1 before I have the skills to go bigger.
