Damn, what did we do with high frame rate cameras before the advent of
auto focus...
The same as after; close enough is good enough.
Geez you guy's you're killing me, can't be a little oblique. That was
kind of my point, without actually saying it.

It's an impressive specification, I hope the AF is better, from experience, if
the AF is no better, then 5fps frame rate would be academic. I think I'll wait
and see how it does in real world testing, especially the improved high ISO
performance.

Looks interesting indeed... :-)

So - what are the perceived strengths & weaknesses?
Strengths, as I see them:
o Metal body shell
o 4-channel sensor readout (faster; lower noise)
o High-ISO performance (I've only got a K10D ..)
o 100% viewfinder (0.92X)
o 1/8000 top speed
o 5+ fps, 14-frame buffer (40 frame for JPEG)
o More dedicated controls
o 3" 640x480 rear screen
o Multi-Pattern metering (assuming the firmware is good)
o Faster, more accurate AF (ditto)
o Battery Grip can accept AAs.
Weakness:
o Only 1/180 flash sync? The Pz-1p managed 1/250.
o Doesn't (apparently) share batteries with the K10D
Don't care:
o Live View
o Low-temperature operation (how do the batteries do?)
o Movie mode (only 720p, though)
o In-camera image manipulation (including HDR)
