You express well yourself why it is gimmicky. No AF during bursts. Exactly the same reason why the 11fps "DX" mode from the Nikon D3 is gimmicky. [/quote]
And I explained to you why it's not gimmicky. There are many situations where you can use 7 fps without need for continous AF, like here

Besides, you can always release the shutter button and press it again and the camera will AF again with first shot again.

And as I pointed out, the A55/A33 burst modes are NOT fully functional. They have an AF tracking system that is less capable than it should be (not able to do good predictive AF) and offer a slide show of what has been, not of what is. Not very handy when panning to track the subject.

That's outright nonense. You claim to know that without ever even touching the A55/A33. According to IR review, A55/A33 AF tracking matched that of 7D in their tests (and A55/A33 do have AF in 10/7 fps modes).
