That doesn\'t sound too great, does it?
No, it does not. A friend who shot the Rio Olympics with a D5 said he most often got a 100% hit rate with skin on faces tack sharp. Now this guy is a seasoned pro, which I am far from being, but with my old 1DX I often hit upwards of 90% shooting sports (never shot BIF); the camera was *that* good. I\'m wondering if this 70% report and the avoidance of true flagship comparisons mean Olympus is still one camera generation away or more from matching true top-of-the-line AF tracking. We\'ll see, eh?
Hit rate is going to vary a lot based on what kind of situation you\'re talking about. I haven\'t had the opportunity to use a D5 yet, but I would have been happy to get 70% dead on with my 1DX | 200 f/2 shooting table tennis under terrible lighting. On the other hand I would have been annoyed if my 5D3 | 70-200ii was hitting 70% shooting cycling under good light. As an aside, I sold all my Canon gear when I bought my house recently and have m43 as my only system. I went ahead and pre-ordered the E-M1.2 this morning so I would definitely like the AF performance to be out of this world, but I\'ve learned to take Olympus\' marketing promises (and the \"reviews\" of certain Olympus spokes people) with an enormous grain of salt.
