You may get the impression from some of these 'dislikes'

That Nikon and Canon have fantastic tracking and Pentax has borderline unusable.

The truth is slightly different, the K3 as another responded is a competent tracking tool providing it's configured correctly and A decent fast focusing sport orientated lens is used.

Nice to read your mostly positive feedback about AF-C.

Which lens have you used which is "a decent fast focusing sport orientated lens" ?

I have a K5IIs, and, the DA 70 struggles with the Z-axis

thanks,

It may not match the current mid level and above Nikon/Canons with decent lens attached but easily out perform consumer level bodies with kit lens and is a match for its contemporaries from any manafacturer.

Unfortunately time moves on and the k70 outperforms the older flagship in many areas.
