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.

The AF capabilities of the Sony SLT A33 are great and it is one of the few in this segment providing 7fps... ...relative to the Canon EOS 1Ds it is worse - however relative to the Canon EOS 550D it is better. I guess you agree that it doesn't make sense to compare a camera like this to a high end camera. As this rating is relative and not absolute the "quite high rating" is appropriate imho.
