Re: A bit of water sport action

That's fine. However, if DOF is plenty, then the AF system doesn't need to work that hard. Set 1/1000, focus close to the surfer and everything required is in focus as the subject stays within DOF. I know the EM1 is not that bad and handles horizontal motion quite well. But it is not a situation I call difficult to handle. If you do soccer or football in a dimly lit location where a mis-focus means an out-of-focus image, that's a different situation. Not easy even for D4s or D1x. Please don't be offended. I don't mean it that way. Just my thoughts.
