Okay. Two cameras.....
(Both Pentax)
One has lock-on 3-point AF and also spot AF, and each of these (selectable)
options also uses an automatic "predictive" focus change that operates when
the shutter is fully depressed, but this also operates only whenever the
camera chooses to use it.
This camera also has no continuous, or servo, mode.
(Guess which camera?)
(ZX5n, maybe?)
;>}
Another camera. This one also has AF, but has no "predictive" automation
whatsoever. However, it does have a servo AF mode that focuses continuously
in order to stay on a moving subject. But of course no "predictive" stuff
kicks in at the last second when the shutter is fully depressed, so you get
only the last view the servo AF focuses on...
(Guess which camera?)
How about the older SFX/SF1 camera?
Now here's the tricky part; forgetting about which may be the best
all-around camera here, which one of these two cameras, IYO, would you
consider as best for capturing fast moving objects?
And if the ZX5n is better, would you still consider the SFX to be a good AF
camera for the purpose? (It doesn't have to be the cream of the crop here.
Just, maybe, good?)
Reason I'm asking is that these SFX and SFXn cameras can now be bought (in
"excellent" condition,) for a song (almost) from KEH...
IY(esteemed)O's, would it be worth it for me to get one (for around $95 to
$133,) just to play around with the AF while I'm waiting for the next best
(camera) thing to come into my life?
So. Another round.
