The key there is I said the E-P3 has fast enough AF for most things; not all things. Clearly professional sports photography isn't most things. Even my old Pentax K100D focused fast enough for my needs. By most things I mean, family photos, street photography, studio photography, travel photography, landscapes, some action shots (
nice mountain bike pic taken with an E-P3 here), and every day snap shots...you know, the stuff most people use cameras for. Clearly the AF is good enough on the E-P3 & GH2 for the vast majority of consumers. Professional sports photographers are what, 1% of the photography market, if that? The gear they use has no bearing on me at all. If they are still using DSLR's in 10 years then fine by me.
Quote: the question is how many green sensels were actually used for IR-assisted focusing speedup...and let us wait for DxOMark tests and see if there was any hit on DR/noise...
DxO scores are near worthless to me. Here's how I judge IQ, I look at photos, then decide if it's good enough for me. Pretty cool huh? Give me a real world review and
sample images from someone like Robin Wong any day over something like DxO.
