I also do not really get the quite high rating for sports photography, as when the camera gets used in its high FPS mode live view ceases to exist (one gets a slide show of what has been) and I understand from other sources that the predictive continuous AF capabilities are not as capable as from Nikon and Canon cameras. The text is a bit unclear about if this has been tested or not.

Imaging-Resource did side-by-side test with A55 and much more expensive Canon 7D and found the predective AF in AF-C mode matched that of 7D.
As for slide mode, keep in mind the slide is 10 fps so it's not slow slide that you can't pan at all. Here is a video of EVF while doing 10 fps.
