*sigh*. Selectable as in, can fire at less than 6.5fps, yes. Just like you can do on the 1DMk3, which has at *least* two settings for frame rate in multiple-frame drive. Why would you want to do that? Well, if you want to fire off multiple frames without releasing the shutter button fully, but not shoot off three frames when you only wanted one. It's easy to accidentally do it even on the 20D.

I understand how to use the Canon AF system completely, thanks. I've read the posts from Chuck Westfall explaining the finer points of AI Servo. You're really going to have to try harder than reciting the worn-out "it's not the equipment, it's the photographer" phrase. Composition, no shit sherlock. Technical and practical limitations of the technology? You bet your ass it matters.
Tracking a race car braking from 150mph to 60mph is surprisingly difficult to do when you only have 9 AF points. A)The camera has a hard time telling there's something there from the background, and B)The time the system has with a sensor over a suitable area (ie, one with contrast) is very, very small.
More sensors = more data = better chance of the subject being in focus. It becomes even more problematic when you only want *one* car in a group in focus and you're working with lenses that has a DoF of under a foot at the apertures you're shooting at; ever tried to track something moving with only one active AF point? Next to impossible.
I have plenty of perfectly good racing photos and even a few paying clients. My success rate roughly tripled when I rented a 1DMk2.

I own/use Canon gear, and yes, thank you, I'm aware of all the sensor differences. What, you think you're the only person on the planet who knows that large CMOS sensors with on-die amplification are better than small CCDs?
God, you people act like 15 year old children; you're almost worse than DPreview forum users.
