There are of course sports photographers that do not do the machine gun fire in the hope to by accident catch a good image. A bigger problem for sports may be the speed of its AF.
I see a bigger problem for the in the article mentioned intended target photographer: the amateur/ semi pro landscape photographer.
While the camera is based on medium format 60 x 45mm, and as a result will have access to lenses with focal lengths suited to and designed for 6x4.5cm format, the sensor is actually a 44 x 33mm affair.
That makes it a 1.36x crop factor camera... What makes the Canon EOS 1D a great sports and photo journalist camera, and not the most obvious landscape photo tool, will go for the 645D too.
