Namely EVF refresh lag (Unless I missed a setting memo) ...
If you try to shoot s string of shots following action, the EVF freezes for about a second as it does the card write, which is akin to the finder blacking out for that long. This of course makes tracking fast action all but impossible. On the upside, you can usually get one good grab on the first image, and AF can easily keep up, but you then need to re-acquire a moving subject for follow up frames. With a wide lens this isn't too tough, but with the 45-200 beyond about 150 it definitely gets challenging.
Are there any settings that get around this? Review and review hold shut off when you are in continuous mode, switching to jpeg only doesn't help. I think we need a FW update that keeps the EVF in live view mode at all times...
