Speed and IQ excellent
My main reason for the purchase was for reach

For a motion cam, it has problems. You lose tracking when shooting bursts, because the EVF reviews the pics just taken & you're blind

This results in the subject being on the side of the frame, like #2. You also lose some functions with the shutter selection, I never knew where my focus point was (pretty disconcerting).

It's really good for street photography, small with silent shutter.

    Looks good! Is there a menu setting or something to turn off instant review?

    Wow. I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a V1 would be my super wildlife cam with my 70-200 mounted. Please post back as you play with it. Maybe the review is the problem. Its AF tracking is where I thought it was very strong. Check out the review on photographyreview.com. My buddy John gave it lots of praise in this dept for a running dog test.
