Panasonic has a longer history of Faster AF. Remember Gh1 vs Oly E-P1/e-P2
1

Panasonic has always been faster than Olympus in AF speed.  I still recalled the old Panasonic Gh1/GF1 runs circles over the similar Olympus e-P1, e-P2.  It wasn't until Olympus introduced the E-PM1, E-PL1, and E-P3 trio that Olympus finally cure its slow AF problem.

The GAP in AF speed has narrowed between the brands, but Panasonic is still ever so slightly faster in AF.

If you shoot Professional wedding, you should really consider buying a Panasonic GH4 instead.  The AF speed improvement alone makes it a worthy upgrade.
