Nope, here is
one aspect of
one camera's AF performance (and a K-70 at that, with SAFOX X auto-focus straight from the K-5II & IIs) with
one specific lens in the hands of
one individual. You're jumping on that as blanket proof that the entire AF system for all Pentax DSLR models is bad, because it's what you now believe (your conclusion from that review is called "confirmation bias" - to use a psychology term
). But, that doesn't make it so.
Go take a look at all the great birds in flight, motorsports, ball sports, and other moving subject photography on these forums to see what can be done when you learn to work with a specific camera's AF system.
Pentax AF.C could be better, yes. But many, many photographers get fantastic results from the K-3, K-3II, K-70, K-1 and earlier cameras. If
they can do it,
anyone who puts in the time and effort to learn their camera's AF peculiarities can potentially achieve the same results
It'll be interesting to see how the KP does with AF.C in the hands of skilled photographers...
