I agree. As long as you keep the trigger half down AF-C will continue to
refocus on the object and it's only the speed of the motor in the lens that
becomes the limiting factor.

The AF-C is surprisingly good. Seagulls? How about superbikes at Kella,
passing me at 198 mph and frozen about 50 yards ahead!
I focus on them about 300 yards away but sometimes only a second before
I shoot. Amazingly good, for the price.
