I never said that it is not possible with a modern DSLR to get good AF accuracy results. I'm talking about reliability. Repeatability. I said DSLR, by design, are inherently less reliable at AF accuracy than mirrorless. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

To quote my original message:

 

Now, if AF accuracy for is your main concern, you should consider mirrorless instead. AF accuracy is much more reliable and accurate than any DSLR.

 

This is exactly what Roger Cicala, and many other reliable sources say. That's quite a few people spreading FUD then.

 

Why can't you admit this simple fact: AF accuracy on a mirrorless camera is more reliable than AF on a DSLR.

Why is it so difficult for you?

 

This debate here would probably be an interesting project for a psychology study ;-)

You are obviously "intent on hammering home your point" and I have no dispute with  the fact that PD/CD AF on sensor is indeed more accurate.

  But .......until it's AF is complete and "multi-functionally great in all areas" I don't see it as a step up........ it has some advantages, but still remains a more restrictive system albeit accurate.

  I'm delighted with the accuracy of the D750, in fact if you read the DPreviews section of their AF test, they actually state that the repeatability is very nearly as good as a mirror-less and they were delighted with it too,....."and"..... it packs the rest of the AF game with it.......... mirror-less doesn't or at least, not yet!

 

 The bottom line:  a lot of photographers in the fashion industry have dropped medium format for D810s and 5DRs and shooting top level work in spite of what you are saying........... and doing very well at it....... this is top pro pro kit with pro pro lenses and systems.......they've got a job to do and they get on with it..............no bullsh-t,........no excuses!..........just delivering  "the goods"!..........

 

  There is a low percentage of slightly missed shots, so what?.......... it's dealt with by taking hundreds and picking the perfect ones and setting aside the average ones and dumping the few missed focus shots.... that's the pro game..........these few missed shots don't spoil the party..... no one's willing to put up with blurred eyes there!

 

 A few like Jason Lanier are starting to use Sony A7's he's openly touting for Sony's sponsorship, openly! He's the one with his pockets full of batteries.......Oh and very few Fujis.......   :lol:  :o 

 

BTW. How many shots are lost from blinking?
