Sports/ACTION is one area where AF is indispensable,
DSLR is almost indispensable and AE helps somewhat
but not nearly as much as digital and AF.
I don't do sports but someone would have to be
brain dead to attempt sports/ACTION now without
DSLR and AF. I couldn't find if I.S was used
but with long lenses and action I would consider
that as mandatory as AF and DSLR too.
Disclaimer: Sports/ACTION is only a very narrow portion
of the entire photographic realm. These things are
not needed or even desireable for a whole bunch of other types of
photography...
And there is one other caveat to be aware of and that
is we are talking STILL photography. If you carry
Yup, and thats precisely why the green button solution is ok. We are
talking STILL photography. You have time to compose, press the green
button, and shoot.

Sports/Action still photography too far with frame
rates and such you end up being a cinemaphotographer
in essence which is ok with me but there might
be better techniques/equipment for that beyond the realm
of PENTAX and still cameras...

I dont agree with you in that the content of the images depend on the
technology. In my view the lack of content is just more evident when the
technology is better.
You haven't tried to shoot sports in the way it is being done these days.
It's completely technology dependant now.

Is a pretty technology dependant set of pictures. I doubt if a manual focus,
manual exposure, manual film advance camera would be capable of getting this
series.
