Excellent on the centre point, better tracking than Pentax but aside from centre-point-only, not even close to what a D700, D300 or 7D can do. The centre point AF is quite good in low light as well. I've had a chance to play seriously with the A900 and was impressed. Best Viewfinder I've seen, good AF, great handling. That said, if AF performance is an issue, nothing touches the high-end Nikon and Canon bodies (note this specifically does NOT include the 5D or 5DmII, which have AF that's worse than the A900/A850). -- M.
