When photographing birds with my 60D and 100 mm-400 mm zoom (orignal), AF takes several tenths of a second to complete sfter the shutter is depressed half way. I frequently wonder how much this response time depends on the camera and how much on the lens. Would just changing to the new version of the zoom speed up this response tme? I would love to hear a camera engineer to talk about this.

Why do so many people say "FER-tographer"? Do they take "fertographs"?
