Even a blind squirrel finds and acorn every once in a while. The problem with the RP, and R, is poor AF and a terribly slow burst rate (especially in servo mode) makes the keeper rate when shooting moving targets very low.

Poor blind squirrel that I am, I find it impossible to recognise any accuracy in your sweeping dismissal of the RP, and I have posted evidence here to prove my assertion.

Actually, I was referring to the RP as the blind squirrel. When it comes to shooting BIF, or any fast moving subject, very good AF and a fast burst rate makes for having shots in enough quantity to have a decent keeper rate. The RP has neither of these capabilities but this doesn't mean one can't get a good photo occasionally of fast moving targets. I have done this with my lowly SL2 but I have also missed out on many, many more good opportunities because it just isn't up to the task of shooting fast moving subjects.

And as usual you are wrong, RP has huge buffer which helps also.

Is this a typo?

RP has RAW buffer of 39 images.
