There's no question that AF-C is a lot better on the Nikon,I think the above example is not an AF-C performance scenario tbhAFC ability must be very subjective - it's pretty much the reason I ditched my XT1 for the Nikon (D750). I didn't rate it at all with the Fuji and ultimately the frustration of trying to just shoot my (admittedly fast) kids doing what they do cost the camera it's place in my bag; which was a shame because I did quite like it in many respects.
I meant minnnt's not your kidsWell my kids are loons tbf
The lens is the limiting factor here, stick a Nikon 70-200mm on the end and you will have quite literally the best, quickest, most reliable, most accurate combination on the planetX-T1 and 50-140 f2.8
D750 and Tamron 70-300 vc.
Maybe i was expecting to get more keepers or be able to push the boundaries more with slower pans etc. The shot above at 1/15 was with the 24-70 so maybe it's just a lens issue? I think it's my techhnique though. I did feel very comfortable with the Fooj.

Never used it to be honestI think you're right Gary.
How good is the 80-400 vr2?
You use it when you go to the toilet.
I heard it came with a neck strap too??

Thanks Gary. Appreciate you input. I think this focal length would suit me well. I'd like one of the 600 zooms but 150mm at the short end is a little too long for me.
Seriously looking into getting the d750 and I'm wondering which lens to get with it. The two I'm looking at are the 24-120mm f4 or the 28-300mm. Does anyone on here have any experience with either of these two lenses. I think I would prefer the 24-120 but the other obviously has the extra reach.
I've used both and for me the clear winner is the 24-120. The 28-300 isn't bad for the range it covers but its not a spectabulr performer both in terms of IQ and AF speed.
The 24-120 is an excellent lens and pairs up very well with the D750.
I assume you mean 24-70?Apart from the Nikon 28-70 f/2.8 which focus even faster than its bigger brother. The new VR version reportedly even eclipses this.
I've a couple of op-tech straps and don't like either. I prefer the matin curved neoprene neck strap as it's softer and the edges are more rounded making it more comfortable.That's where mine live until they've been read cover to cover, apart from when I'm out with the camera in which case it'll be in the bag just in case.
I much prefer neoprene straps to the (too) narrow ones Nikon supply. My preference is for the Op-Tech ones. Not tried Arse traps yet - since neck straps work for me, I don't need to!
Still fills up fast at 6.5fps, but better than the D7100. Of course it helps if you shoot jpeg rather than RAW, but I shoot RAW in slot 1 with Jpeg in slot 2. Still get about 10-12 shots before it fills which is more than enough for me.What's the real world continuous shooting RAW buffer like on the D750? I'm getting truly fed up with the D7100 buffer, which is a second if you're lucky and truly stuffs up what should have been a great camera. The D750 sounds like the perfect upgrade
2-3 second burst at a time should be pretty much good enough to stop any action if you anticipate the timing right. It's not difficult I used to only have 36 frames on a motor drive with a Nikon F3
Nick, still got it along with a motor driven Nikon FE2. And believe it or not I still use them both from time to time. "Fabulous Bits Of Kit".

I would love that lens but I'm pushing it getting the D750 and 24-120. My main reason for the purchase is that the D7100 doesn't have exposure preview in LiveView when my older D7000 (dead) did have it. So it's hard to zoom in and focus on bright objects in the dark (ie stars planets moon) as they just show as overexposed blobs.Just get the 24-70. Awesome lens with instantaneous focusing.
