700d Focus Tracking

[srhmoto]

I'm after a DSLR that can keep up with a 2 year old who never stops moving, usually at a flat out run . The mirrorless gear I have is just hopeless at it.

The 700d looks good and isn't so much of a compromise in size and weight, but I want to be sure about its focus tracking ability. The alternative would be a Nikon 7000d but that's bigger and more expensive even if it will track better.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Simon.

For stills I assume?

You assume correctly.

Not interested in video at all (at least not with a DSLR). All I want is good quality stills in in light up to say ISO1600 ish.

Well I can't say I had any complaints about my 650d which is basically the same. Shots are starting to get a bit noisy at the ISO1600 mark but as long as you're not planning on cropping in a lot then it's no issue with a bit of noise reduction in PP so would say a 700d would definitely do the job.

A decent lens would also help

The Sony A6000 On-Sensor PDAF is meant to be VERY fast, it also has a huge number of AF points. You have to use supported Sony lenses to get the OSPDAF. Just check reviews that it is still very fast in low-light.
