I’ll keep my money on the fastest pony, ( pany).
LOL 🙂
Comical. Funny how the tester exaggerated the to-and-fro movements of the GF1, seemingly to make it look faster. I know which horse she was pulling for! I am a MFT user, BTW, so my bias should be slanted her way as well; especially considering how much I have invested in the system. But this is blatantly deceptive testing. Silly.
Where did he do that test, at a steel mill?
Well, they too focus quick and sure, it’s a matter of milliseconds, and who really care ? It’s seems the focus speed is quiclky enough for everyone except the sports fan.
I agree with Gabriel. They’re both close enough that only sports people would care. In that case, I’m 99% sure they’d reach for their “real” dSLR’s (7D, D700, etc) for sports anyway.
GF-1 a bit faster, but not that much. looks like OM need to improve further. it is a shame for a traditional camera brand focusing speed slower than household electrical appliances makers.
Um, I could get my old Uzi to focus fast too when it was zoomed all the way out. Where it gets tricky is when you zoom in to telephoto like 55mm (find whatever the equivalence is). That’s where it’s tricky. If the Sony focuses fast at full tele I’d be impressed.
rUY, it’s precisely the electronics manufacturers that should have the edge in AF speed, as today’s cameras are largely driven by, well, electronics. It’s in the glass that traditional camera makers have the edge, and which is why Sony had to get help from Zeiss for their premium glass.
No shame for Olympus really. They’re getting there, as evidenced by the recent firmware update for the Pens, but I’m guessing the electronic powerhouses will likely have the AF edge for the most part because their engineers are wired for precisely that kind of algorithm creation.
