The Canon 1DX has great AF, but doesn't have huge market share.... but nice try. Other factors will always come into play.
Lsitening to your video as posted, testing the AF at 5:41... "I still think cameras like the D7100, Canon 5Dmk3 and D800 are going to blow this away in that regard. " Well Pop photo actually did the test on one of those cameras, the D7100 and the K-3 is faster in that test so right off the bat I can cite an already exposed error in that video. How much else did they mess up? As for the D750, and D800, you're comparing to FFs dude. They do focus faster.
My point is, anyone can cherry pick features from reviews, Some idiot somewhere can say something stupid on line.. and we have have seen how hard it is to get DPR to change erroneous info, even when they've made a mistake on technical specs. You just wasted 20 minutes of my life. DO something that makes up for it.
Did you really quote this?
"Having shot it side-by-side with the Fujifilm X-T1, the K-3 ultimately fell short in comparison. This suggests that, while the K-3 is a potentially very capable camera and a big step forward for Pentax, the availability of lenses means it will
rarely match the best of its peers across a broad range of action photography."
Did he shoot the FUjifilm X-ti and K-3 with the same lens? Is he describing an AF problem or a slow focussing lens problem? Pentax just released two new lenses to take advantage of K-3II and FF AF units... did he test those. Or did he test modern Fuji against older Pentax lenses?
Sometimes I feel like I'm teaching people how to read.
But I do find it amusing that you think I should compare reviews, when I have often been out standing in a parking lot with a view of local wildlife with 5 to 10 other photographers, chewing the fat and sharing observations, and come to the opinion that
overall my equipment stacks up quite nicely. And you want me to read more reviews? Dude, I could write my own reviews. I don't really pay much attention to niggling reviews picking at the small stuff.
