is the af any faster with the new fw revision?

NX300 firmware 1.0 seems pretty fast focusing, if you are in good light with the larger aperture lenses.  I need to do some more testing side by side with the NX20.  I know on my X20 I am reviewing it only uses the PDAF sensors in certain modes, like AF-C or when you mash the shutter all the way down.  If you just half press on the X20 it always uses CDAF as far as I can tell.  My point here is that I don't know how NX300 behaves yet.  I will say touch AF and take shot (one touch shot or something) with my 45mm f/1.8 is very fast outdoors in good light (fraction of a second).
