I agree. But my point was that there's no locking on to the subject. It's just the focus system "catching" whatever comes by, close to the previous focusing distance. If I was photographing a group of kids running at the playground, the camera might catch a girl, then a boy, next time a dog or a bird. There� s no locking onto anything. I don't believe any mass produced camera system can do that.
I have tried to walk slowly towards a fixed subject with great contrast, having set the AF on the *ist D to "Continuous". When walking quite slowly, the camera could give focus confirmation once for every single step I took. That's app. once every second or every half-second. That is certainly not very impressing. In fact I can do better using manual focus.
