Sad they haven't improved that over the T2i. Figured they would have.
Still, it's actually not that hard to focus manually. I use the zoom button (not lens zoom) before shooting to get focused, and then as you go along it's not too hard to re-adjust. Of course there are limits to what you can successfully shoot in this way. I wouldn't try chasing the kids around the yard, trying to manually refocus all the time. But for what I use the camera to shoot (landscapes, interviews, etc.) it's easy enough to do.
I feel like I just got my T2i yesterday and here's the 3 already. Crap this stuff moves faster all the time.
