That is quite a severe limitation on high fps. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



But I guess for specific types of shooting it does not matter. The same can be said about compact cameras with small sensors, cameras with only one AF cross sensor, cameras with slow fps etc etc etc. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

A77 can AF and AE in 12 fps mode with the aperture wide open or F3.5.



No other camera can do it.



With fixed AF (AF set at first shot), you can choose the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. It doesn't have to be wide open apeture. You still have the 12 fps.



In 8 fps mode, you get full control on everything (ISO, aperture, shutter speed) PLUS AF-C.



So what exactly is the point? This is superior compared to any other camera, at any price range.
