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.

not offended but I don't see your point (other than to propose situations where you believe that a DSLR may be better). I won't bother to load them as I don't wish to continue this part of the debate but I have more than enough head-on approach shots of Thundercats coming head-on toward me at > 60 mph and aircraft doing the same at >500mph to know that, as I explained, the EM-1 + 40-150 meets my needs better than my canon system did

End of debate as far as I am concerned, as I have no wish to try to change your viewpoint
