To be fair, although they share the same 9 selectable AF points with only the center one as a cross-type, the 5DII has 6 'invisible' AF-assist points that, in theory, make for better AI-Servo tracking. But, the 5DII has the same AF system as the original 5D, so I'd bet that microprocessor and algorithm improvements Canon has made in the ~5 years separating the original 5D from the T2i more than make up for the difference.


Also, the 5DII is a whole 0.2 fps faster on frame rate than the T2i. Wow. [:P]

Me, too.
