I am not a sport photographer but assuming I have no experience in photographing fast action was a bit too much. The point I was trying to make is that the mirrorless, as a technology, as a platform is mature and capable enough to capture the action of Olympics.

Invictus Games: which events? They're not all the same.

Finally: if you think a high frame rate only produces duplicates, you really don't understand shooting sports.

Sorry mate, you assumed wrong again of what I think. My point was that the focusing and the focus tracking capability were so well performing that I did not have to rely on higher FPS in order to capture what I had to.

Hope you can enlighten me about the use cases for high FPS. I still perplexed when a Getty Guy, that was photographing a medal ceremony and other relaxed, slow paced moment, had his camera on high FPS.

Surprised, would have guessed more would have voted for mirrorless.  Eh, I'll go with the long shot then.
