While I agree that there are probably better camera's in that department and while I have yet to do any action photography with the MKII, I feel that I would have close to 100% keepers rate if I were to do any.

You're being serious?

Yes.

People nowadays want a camera where they can machine gun an action scene, come home with tons of images and select the best one. While anyone does what she or he wants, what's wrong with the good all approach of timing your moment and making the photo at that exact while? If you want the former, there are obviously better camera's than the MKII, if, however, you choose for the latter, it is more than a capable camera.

That is a clear and understandable answer. Your first post on the other hand did lack the fact that you were not talking about what normal is meant with "action photography" today, i.e. catching moving things with a capable AF.

But, if you pre-focus and is timing your photos, then any camera can do it.
