You win. That’s what matters

Important to note than in MEDISN's example the subject is moving at approximately 2mph. That said, it's still a very good example for the Pen-F, I never saw results that good. I don't know if he's able to get results like that consistently or not but given that there's not much to configure on the Pen-F maybe he's just better than pressing the shutter button than everyone else, =). That or maybe Olympus made some stealth FW updates.

I suppose the PenF C-AF is ok at 2 mph

Meaning the PEN-F is well beyond the current skill level of certain self-titled "experienced users".

You mean more like the PenF is below the requirements of a pretty good C-AF system or standard in the market :-).

Show me a sequence you've shot at a better hit rate on "a pretty good C-AF system". Should be easy right?

Actually no. I already posted some results from real use with the PenF and when I found something you liked, you trumpeted I was wrong.

So it's not easy now? You're only contradicting yourself. If a PEN-F is somehow "below the requirements of a pretty good CAF system" then it should be easy for you to show a better sequence with a camera that has "a pretty good CAF system" as you put it. Let's see it!

Never mind a mindful reader my note that someone under a thread like this posting something remotely counter to his first observation in other conditions, admitting something new, would probably mean that individual is probably pretty reliable. But that's another point.

When you found something you didn't like then it was something else. Basically solid proof why I don't bother anymore. But for reference, the camera in question is the Fuji X-E3.

Let's see a 34 shot C-AF sequence of a moving subject from your X-E3 with more than 32 in focus. Should be easy if the C-AF is so good.

I mean, capturing at 2 mph a not so erratic subject movement is not exactly a hard test for C-AF...

Not hard...but you can't do it with any camera. No fault of the PEN-F.

2mph? Sounds pretty easy. I mean, you can do it with many, and certainly doesn't mean it's evidence for the PenF not having bad C-AF :-).

If it's as easy as you suggest, why can't you do it with any camera? Show me anything with DOF that shallow at a faster rate of travel that you've shot on any camera. I'll wait patiently. Shouldn't take you long because it's so easy right?

O course, I like pointed out from the get go that the example given didn't seem that stressful. But that didn't seem to go well

If it's not stressful, should be easy for you to repeat right? Let's see it! You talk a big talk but can't seem to provide anything to support your narrative.
