I'm relatively new to SLRs, starting with the t2i + kit lens several years ago and migrating to the 7D about a year ago. I've loved the 70-200 IS II for the same reasons as everyone.
I love action photography but have found the camera misses autofocus on about half my shots when the subject is rapidly approaching the lens. As an example I was shooting my kid sledding on a bright but overcast day - I had all the AF points enabled, AF Servo, IS mode 2, and High frame rate. Lens wide open - was leading him a bit coming down the hill.
My question is - am I just expecting too much from the AF? Any suggestions for increasing my keeper rate?
