Originally posted by DragonLord The fact that the K-30 supports AF point expansion:
...and that the AF algorithms are greatly reworked for significant improvement in subject tracking speed and accuracy strongly suggests that the SAFOX IXi+ AF system has a level of "intelligence" that exceeds that of previous Pentax AF systems. Do any of these improvements imply a degree of predictive tracking capability? I certainly believe so, but does anyone else agree or disagree with this statement?

I would have to agree thats a reasonable assumption.
In a way its the same thing as I was saying in another post. I believe it will put it bang on par, Poss as you say, even better than canikon. This will be a huge improvement for sure. The fact still remains in my eyes though it will still stay very much the underdog until it reduces the dinnerplate sized sensors.
The K30 seems set as entry level. Given the amount of work introduced into this camera gives me a lot of hope for the new K5 etc. This would follow canikon trends too.
The D7000 focus system is totaly outdone with the D300 D700 etc. If this is the case and does indeed happen, there is going be some rather happy pentaxians knocking about lol
