Thanks for those links. They are informative showing lags of 0.1 to 0.2 seconds. A lot can happen in that amount of time. Give a basketball player 4 seconds, and he can travel the full length of court.
We measured 0.249 second for full AF lag using single point (center) AF, which is closer to consumer DSLR speeds. This is also significantly slower than the results we got for the 7D (0.131s) and 70D (0.075s).
There's a lot less analysis going on with single point focus, so I'd expect it to be quicker than multipoint.
That 70D steps right out there like 3 times as fast. Word of mouth reports from some of Cookie's friends are they're very impressed with the newer pro-grade Nikons. Not seen any hard independent data, but their frames per second rate is really getting up there.
