Well in that case you have 2 choices for me:
- If possible you cancel your preorder and money and wait until there some reviews of K1 for actions/sports/BIF
- either you put your trust into Nikon that has very long history of top level AF.
You could buy D500 but honestly if you keep APSC, D7200 half that price still much much better and the sensor of D500 is no bigger. For BIF, better to invest more then in the good quality lenses and TCs. My understanding D7200 is top and will be very likely better than K1 for tracking.
An FF is not necessarily the best for BIF. If you can accept slow burst rate then D810/K1 have 36MP sensors, so 15MP APSC, meaning still quite some reach. Couple a good long lens with a good tele, and you are ready to go. For K1, that assuming the AF-C will be good. We don't really know yet. It will be significantly better sure. Good, still unknown.
