Yeah, sometimes I take pics of birds in motion like hummingbirds near the feeder. Miss focus a lot. The video review of the Nikon D500 show it hitting the focus spot on repeatedly on really fast birds in flight like Kestrels. Pretty impressive. Probably too much to ask of the K-1, but it would be nice.
