Okay, this thing is ultra fast and here's why....(I'm quoting another individual but this has been verified by a Nikon employee)

It has the focusing sensors embedded in the actual sensor, giving a mix of phase detection and contrast detection, and with the new EXPEED 3 processor, enough intelligence to know what mix to use.

No worries though, I will not be getting rid of my MFT gear.....

You could be quite right

This pecan was really swaying in the breeze. My J1 was in "AF-C" with tracking ON. It captured this in one shot with the 10-30 lens..

Nice photo...I tried one of the cameras though, I hate to say how much I disliked it, and I love Nikon cameras.

That's not true at all, I loved the handling of every other Nikon camera I've ever used.
