Well i know its early, days but from shooting 2 games my initial thoughts are the MKIV is a total bag of *****, it just will not focus and keep tracking a moving target, it just shifts to focussing on nothing, then 10 feet away, 6 inch out, 3 inch out, 1 foot out and then on nothing at all.
Ive tried all sorts of settings and even copied settings taken from a pro at sportsshooter.com and it just wont do what its supposed to do, even over a burst of say 10 frames and with AF set to focus priority the first 3 or so are well out, i would say out of 10 im lucky if it nails 2 and gets 3 which can be resized and used for web, the rest are just nowhere near good enough.
With my old MKIII and the trouble i had with that AF i was still getting a 30% keeper rate, this went up to 90-95% when i switched to the D3 and now im lucky if i get 5% with the MKIV, out of 350 frames shot today i would say ive only got 7 or 8 which are totally nailed
Even at this early stage im seriously regretting switching back to Canon, it really is a bag of crap and far worse than the MKIII
