Yes you CAN shoot kids with the A7.
Just three examples with the FE 55 1.8 Wide open, AF-C from today.
Quite good keeper rate actually (reading about the A7:s one could think you would not be able to take shots like this at all). Today is took 65 pictures in these series, with High speed setting. Missed focus in some (following Ted\'s movements in the swing..) but 42 was sharp and ok. Then i was both handling the camera and pushing the swing so.. Sure it\'s not random movements (which is harder to track) but still :-)
Edit: added one more.
