where did you see no AF at 11FPS?

[rvxing]

Nine frames per second continuous with auto-focus tracking
Eleven frames per second continuous without auto-focus tracking
Ten / eleven frames per second continuous in DX-crop mode (AF / no-AF)

Under Introduction section

[TMC]

pure speed, at that rate, the AF is going to be the bottleneck. pretty much a last resort option.

[cichlid]

there is a good illustration between full frame and DX crop factor

so far I don see how 9FPS ain't enough, unless you wanna compare to a 1DmkIII standing beside you firing at 10FPS.

the only thing i wana compare between D3 & 1DmkIII is the physical appearance. As someone here has mentioned before, the 1DmkIII is oh so curvy

Face it bro, SG is just too small a market to be given priority.

You'll never know how impressive it is until you've laid your hands on one.
