Thanks for the compliments. As far as the shutter speed I tried a slower speed and then the car came out blurry. This was my time doing panning shots.

Not to mention the ever changing light as the clouds rolled by. I managed to get this one while the sun wasn't being blocked and could slow down the speed.

What's wrong with AF when panning? I tried my buddy's 2.8 lens which won't auto-focus with the D40 and trying to manual focus as fast as the cars were going seems like it would have been difficult.

the D90 is solid. it's not about the video mode. it's about how clear of pictures it takes. it's right on par with the D3 and D300. i'm talking clarity.
