Canon AF Speed

A DPR G1 X Conclusion Con: "Comparatively slow AF, slowing down further in macro mode"

A DPR T4i/650D Conclusion Con: "Slow 'hybrid AF' performance in live view and video modes (compared to mirrorless competition)"

And DPR about the EOS M: "Having shot with the EOS M for four days, in a variety of circumstances, it's hard to shake the impression that a potentially promising camera risks being undermined by woefully slow autofocus."

Canon needs to step up their game in this area.

AF speed isn't just important to enthusiasts. It's important to any snapshooter who has (moving) kids and pets.
