Thanks for the tips. Yeah, I was trying the low shutter speeds and overexposing slightly too, but the panning timing was killing me.

Even when I pre-focus, there is a slight delay to the shutter, so I need to practice "swinging through". The problem shows up when the viewfinder is obscured during the shutter release process --- you aren't able to follow the car. I need to probably a) zoom out a little more, b) use both eyes, c) take a lot of throwaways.

Yeah, the likelihood of getting a super-crisp shot at full resolution is probably nil with my gear, but at least photos like that EVO look great at 800x600 or so.

I'll keep practicing.
