>>3977080S-AF is actually better on Panasonic compared to Contrast Detect only Olympus bodies. It's faster, hunts less, and seems to hunt in a different way to Olympus hunting.
C-AF... who knows. With face/person detection, the AF mostly stays right, but getting it to focus on objects can be really hard. I'd say that any kind of tracking autofocus is going to have a better time than with single point continuous AF.
I mostly actually use MF, press the AF On button on the rear to get quick S-AF and manually pull focus forwards and backwards. While recording, using S-AF is actually quite smooth and gets to the right spot no trouble at all.
I've used the MF + AF On button method on Olympus before (the aperture/DoF preview button acts as an AF on button in movie mode), but the Olympus AF (contrast detect only bodies) while recording often misses focus for no reason and sometimes decides arbitrarily to focus behind your subject.
I can certainly say with confidence, that without DFD, Panasonic CDAF is better than Olympus CDAF.
That said, I think the GH5M2, with the newer processor in it, is probably doing the best job of any MFT body right now. If there's one thing that I'll say about Panasonic's decision to get into Full Frame bodies, it's that they're genuinely transferring lessons learned over to MFT, and that's only a good thing.
>>3977117Maybe the Fuji worms manage to placate certain people.
Or maybe the word "micro" triggers some kind of post traumatic stress disorder which makes certain individuals go nuts.
At any rate, the fact that no one understands equivalence, and what it actually does and does not apply to just reveals how many no-photo posters have never actually ever used any camera that isn't their own.
