Even if it doesn't match the current top of the line camera in terms of AF performance, setting the standard for mirrorless AF performance is something that should be applauded. Exceeding what the X-T2 or the A6500 can do, if true, is an accomplishment. I have seen enough examples off the E-M1 II Facebook group to see that I'll be satisfied with both the IQ and AF performance. But again that's just me. Can't comment on others.
Great post, but don't forget that a lot of people like to blame the "GEAR" - easier than admitting that they lack the skills to take great shots.

Good lord man, is your reading comprehension that poor or are you just being dishonest?
What I actually wrote:
If you really think the full quote there suggests that I believe the camera is actually on capable of hitting 1 or 2 shots in a long sequence then you're simply wildly misreading what I wrote. The point remains that bobbytan claimed the video showed that the camera is able to "track and nail focus". The video only shows one or two shots from each sequence rather than strings of in focus shots. If tracking and nailing focus meant one or two shots in focus from a long sequence then that would be an epic failure.
Does that mean that there are actually only one or two shots in focus from a given sequence? No.
Does the video provide much evidence that the camera tracks well? No.
If you're still not able to understand then I doubt anything else I say is going to help. ...Show more →
You get browny points for not denying that you did write your post.
Well, there's no proof like your own testing, but I'm pretty convinced that the camera will perform very well.
Hopefully, I'll get it shortly after the shipping date as I put my name on the list as soon as it was announced.

I don't understand why these camera companies don't get the right photographers in the right conditions to do their review. It's always good to see more reviews, but I couldn't watch that whole thing either. The link to the photographs was nice, but good lord the light is pure crap and the images that I downloaded were too. I hope no one paid for that safari because you might as well shoot without a card in the camera versus keeping those images.

I don't think too many pro photographers switched to OLYMPUS in the past who specialized in sports or BIF. So who do you give it to? You give the new cameras to bloggers who will talk about them being great. Bottom line is always $$$ for a corporation, and volume speaks volumes. Profits will come from the masses who will purchase the new EM-1, not from a few pro shooters. I don't think too many birders or sport shooters will switch to this camera. There is a member on m4/3.com from Sweden who shoots Rally races and other fast moving subjects and he is good with the EM-1. Let's see what he has to say when he purchases the mark 2.

Yes, BUT, what is the point of making a speed demon camera unless that is a target audience? If that is the target audience, why not give it to someone to show off those capabilities?
