No Jonathan, I only had the use of it for the time we were at a nature reserve but it made an impression. If Nikon had the af working like it has now I would still be using Nikon.
That’s reminiscent of the Nikon D2X point in time, when loads of Nikon people were jumping ship to Canon. Nikon was ‘forced’ into releasing the ground breaking D3 ahead of their development timing plans to win back deserters.
I felt at the time that Nikon were holding back on even more advanced technologies, aiming to drip feed them into the market place, so as not to give things away too soon / cheaply. They have always been a reactive company rather than proactive.
That said, Sony will have to do something to counter this advantage or similarly lose customers again. We will have to wait and see.
I have no intention of jumping back and forth anymore.
BIF isn’t a priority for me and I feel that any future change would be down to no longer needing the complexity/functionality / weight of the A1 or any equivalent spec camera system.
