@surfar, I'm not sure this statement is easily understood. What does it mean?

Could you please give some details about your test set-up, lighting conditions and target characteristics?
Originally posted by surfar @ 12 inches it didn't focus,but did at around 2 feet.
What conclusions did you draw about the lack of focus at a subject distance of 12 inches?

"Immediately" could mean instantaneously, which is difficult to believe. Did you measure the time the camera took to lock focus?

If I understand your test objectives and testing approach, you were comparing two camera systems - the Fuji and the Pentax. In such a case, the Pentax would not have been a "control" because it was one of the systems that you were assessing. Would be useful to our understanding if your meaning of "control" was further explained.

Any conclusions about lack of focus at 12 inches? What is meant by "slow?" Quantitative measurements (i.e., timings) would be useful to back up the statement.

I think many readers would wonder about the use of the term "INSTANT" here. Do you mean "faster?"
The description omits any discussion of focus
accuracy. It would certainly be useful for readers to hear about your conclusions on this crucial aspect of focus performance.
Finally, could you comment on the
practical implications of your findings? Did you find differences that would be significant in real-world usage?
Thanks.
