I cannot compare cameras like you. I have been a long time professional (40+ years) and have used various Fuji and Nikon digital cameras the last 12 years. I sold them all after retiring and bought a Panasonic G6 instead with 42-45 and 45-150, just for artistic and fun shooting.

A few weeks ago I shot a friends wedding, just as a friends service. As I was not willing to invest seriously in equipment I bought for this occasion a 2,8/19 mm and covered about 60% of the wedding with it.

I was surprised how well and fast it focusses. The keeper rate was indeed about 95%. So you are right about the focussing qualities of a Panasonic camera.
