The Z-1p had predictive AF (I just checked the manual). So I hope the DSLRs have it! There shouldn't be any reason why you couldn't track an accelerating subject, unless the sensors impose a limitation of some kind. I'm starting to get frustrated with my K10D because it seems to be trying to focus beyond infinity with wide-angle lenses, when I try and focus on distant subjects. Might need to have it looked at because I have it set to only release the shutter if it's in focus, while in AF-S mode. So I have to use AF-C a lot more.
