Easily. Actually, for those types of subjects I don't bother with Ai Servo myself. I find I can easily keep up with normal One-shot AF.
What I find hard is this type of shot:
![[Image: jump03b.jpg]](http://lumifer.com/gallery/sport/large/jump03b.jpg)
This was towards dusk, with 5D II and 100-400L at 400 mm, F/5.6, 3200 iso, 1/320s. IOW, really pushing the envelope, including the 5D II Ai Servo capabilities. Of course, these guys do come at you at speeds anywhere between 30 and 60 mph, depending on whether they are building up speed for the jump and angle of attack <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />. And I do want to do frame filling shots, which also makes it harder - this is the entire frame, no cropping <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />.
In very dusty environments you always have to be careful, with any camera, so change lenses in a big plastic bag, etc., to avoid dust enterign th ecamera as much as possible, and always have your favourite set of dust removal equipment with you for use in a bathroom in your hotel i fand when it si required - although I find the 5D II is not really prone to collecting dust on the sensor. Humid environments it should be ok, you just have to be careful with condensation, and let the camera + lens adjust to the temperature difference going from a cool place to a warmer place, but again that is true for any camera, including analog cameras <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />.
With regards to drizzle, I would just protect the camera with a rain sleeve or plastic bag with elastic bands. And the lens with a (good quality) filter. But then I would do that for any camera anyway.Including my 1D Mark III (which I got after the water skiing event, for sport shots liek th eabove, essentially <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />). Better safe than sorry.
I'd really do advise that in the case you do decide on a 5D II, to replace those immediately. A 10-22 plus 20-35 should easily pay for a 17-40L and the 17-40L is quite a bit better than the 20-35, is also better than a 10-22 + APS-C body combo, and can be protected against the weather too by adding a filter.
Kind regards, Wim

Quote:Two more questions. With low paced subjects I mean people walking by on the streets,fishermen in rowing boats etc. Will the Af Servo of 5d be sufficient for that?
