Thanks for this information!!!
I took a lot of photos over Xmas and was wondering why the ones of the Christmas tree at QVB were not focused - yes the camera seems to get confused by blinking lights.
Another focusing "flaw" I discovered on the NEX-5N is that it does not focus very well on mirrored objects (yes, I am vain enough to take photos of myself in a mirror).
And having used the Canon 1D Mk III and 1D Mk IV, and some experience fondling and cuddling a 1Ds Mk III, I agree that Canon isn't perfect either. Yes, it's better than the K-5, but I have had my share of OOF shots.
I am going to try and take my K-5 with the DA* 50-135 to the zoo today with AF fine adjustment disabled and see if I get better shots than a few weeks ago.
