It does make it easier for the camera to track focus and it does end up with the wrong thing in focus as often as not. The problem with the AI servo is it doesn't allow manual overide, which I can use when the one shot autofocus is obviously off. The other enbuggrance is that the camera layout and controls does not lend itself to quick adjustment from AI servo to one shot. The Nikon does. Certainly had I known what I know now I certainly would be using Nikon not Canon.
