Knowing that Sony meanwhile has the on sensor PDAF technology and that Oly buy their image sensors from Sony now, it's not that difficult to predict that at least high end Oly cameras will have on sensor PDAF quite soon.

Why should they? With the latest Oly's and Panny's, mFT already has demonstrated that they are able to realise a working C-AF without PDAF.

Well, as much as I like my EM5, my D700 simply plays in a different league for continuous AF. (Even with the OMD set to vivid and what not.)

What we now need is just an adaptive silhoutte detection instead of face detection and the calculating power that enables the camera to find out if the silhouette is approaching and at what pace. Then, the CDAF will be able to outperform even the fastest PDAF systems.

And once the cats will be horses, we'll be able to ride up the trees.

And of course, a global shutter also would be helpful.

But PDAF? Thank you very much - been there, done that.

I for one would be very happy with an Oly PDAF system working as well as my Nikon PDAF system
