You and me both Larry!!!
Once one company that does mirrorless (Olympus, Sony or Fuji) does it - the floodgates will open.
Cheers,

I thought Olympus was already good at this?

i'm surprised too at your results given Rico's photos of horseriding and CameraStoreTV's results. maybe it's the lens that cannot keep up?
the a6000 from sony seems to have pretty good AF tracking, it was able to lock a bird on a swaying branch in video in one of the demo videos with a grid of AF points lighting up as it tracked.

Hey.. these are "my" results
- you can always check it out for yourself when you get a chance and determine if it's right for you. For all I know I was "doing it wrong" but I don't think I was. I just found that the tracking was not nearly suffice for me. Perhaps it's the way that camera was set up but the "controls" that control that particular function are in the same place as the X-Pro1. Who knows - maybe the particular camera (1 of 3 that they had there for demo-ing) wasn't up to par?

That I don't know - I've never looked at the Olympus cameras for this because m4/3 just seemed that much smaller than even the Fuji crop so I limited myself when it came to mirrorless (and having tried the EP-2 for a bit) to a "decent" sized sensor.

in the camera store video, they were outside on a cloudy bright day when shooting their sequence/multi shots…maybe better lighting influences this?

Oh.. try it out for sure!! I'm not going to say I'm an expert on the camera *LOL*
Heck, I'm still learning stuff about the D600 and A7 *LOL* It's best of we can get others to test this because then my statement may be a problem with how *I* was using the camera - the more info we have the better I think
I had minimal time with the camera but the conditions I was in were the following: indoors, decent light, Auto ISO, with the 23mm lens at f1.4 and had the "focus switch" set to "C".
The standard AF (i.e. focus switch set to S) was very fast - but I figured it would be because I never had an issue with the X-Pro1 when it was set to "S"

Me too, until,now every report I've seen about about tracking was the opposite of this one.
I guess I'll have to wait until my body arrives (next week allegedly).

Olympus em5 af focus is pretty fast, but w/ others lens such as pany 20 not so good. So lens does have a factor. The predictive af is ok, I found Panasonic predictive to be better, but ibis on the Olympus to be the best.
If I remember correctly, predictive needs to be activated along w/ continuous.
To me the hardest to track is a bird in flight. I am surprise u hard problems w/ the type of shot u took.. I wonder if it was just slow enough that predictive did not kick in.
Thanks for the info

Gary,
That may be true - the movement may have been "too slow" for the predictive to kick in. It could be any number of things - I honestly would like someone to refute this with first hand experience - and by that I mean a "real user" like those of us here vs a review site or, especially, a store that actually sells the camera. To me, that's a bit of a conflict of interest.

Dave,
Do you remember if you had face detection enabled?

All this talk about the camera has prompted me to do what I said I wouldn't do any more - be an early adopter of a new digital camera.
Just put in an order for one with a 23/1.4 lens.
I just hope the AF function is an improvement over the Xpro1, which I found a bit lacking.

for those that has the X-T1 already, can they please confirm that it uses the NP-W126 battery, same as the X-Pro1?

Nope.. face detection wasn't enabled - it would be interesting to see how it worked if it was!!
