(Probably a silly question....)
I'm heading to Atlanta next week to try out some gear at CI. I've been looking at RZ systems, both for the cost and the higher flash sync. I use high-speed flash sync in combo with open apertures A LOT in location work (canon with PW FlexTT5 Units) and really enjoy the look of natural light with a touch of flash to clean up skin tones and even out shadows on the face (and add a bit of sparkle to the eyes).
So all this "high speed sync" got me to thinking about the H system and the new 645DF... is the AF on the 645DF or the hassie H cameras responsive enough to shoot portraits of subjects that are "mildly prone to movement"?
I'm not talking about kids who are running around the yard... that's canon territory... and I know that adults are easy pickings. I'm just curious as to whether the AF on the newer bodies is responsive enough to keep with, say, a baby who's prone to bobbing back and forth a little bit.
Stuff like these shots that I posted in the "share" forum. These use off camera flash (speedlight into an umbrella) to even out skin tones as well as to tone down the background a bit. I defaulted to ISO200 but at f/1.4 that gave me shutter speeds of around 1/1250th. I assume at f/2.8 at ISO200 I'd still be in good shape with MF using a normal lens:
