great info, thanks

Is there a way to turn off all focus and just rely on the rack focus?

@richieramone1 Canon is the best on everything including phone support.  Only beef is their measly 1 year warranty. Tokina is 3 years, Nikon I think is two years. That's my only gripe and they are not infallible. Out of the box 400mm focusing issue. 7D has been handled like a baby, A/F mechanism issue, 580 EX II out of the box had an issue. My advice, if you encounter any slight issue & tech support can't resolve with your Canon purchase get it to the service center before the 1 year is up..

@bandaban Been using Canon for over 15 years, and my 7D's (2) have never had a problem with focusing. Maybe you received a lemon my friend. I on the other hand highly reccomend Canon over Nikon anyday of the week. Much faster focusing, and a GREAT lens selection.

@matzchase

not in situations where speed matter (sports ecc.)

@matzchase Not at all.

Seems simpler to focus manually...
