Re: Auto focus torture test
What torture test??? A runner at a steady pace, lets assume its a jogger and not a full blown sprinter (he'd last only two tests keeping the same pace) then its no biggie. Lets get some erratic movement, like a rugby/soccer player, cricket player (bowler/chasing fielder) and see if the cameras can keep up with the changing conditions, then add less than ideal stadium lighting (night games) and redo, will be interesting to see the results. My very old D30 Canon circa 2001, of 3.3 MP fame, can track a racing car on a panning angle doing 120+ kph, but its useless doing that head-on. But it can track a runner/jogger all day long with a good lens such as the 120-300/2.8 So that means its just as good as a 1D MkII/7D etc???
