That's a tough one! I'd take a Nikonous. But it's a moot point because you will not find me on the rapids. I use rapid fixer that's rapid enough for me. I'll even sloush it around and skip the dramimine. If you are doing a lot of high speed action then not going with AF would be quite an unusual choice, although possible. Mark Rabiner
