Oh and E-M1 can beat cameras like 7D Mk2 in C-AF accuracy and speed.

Perhaps you could produce your evidence for that statement.

Do you own a 7D MkII? Have you shot with one?

I owned a 7D MkI for 6 years and I can tell you that my E-M1 with a red dot sight can shoot most of the things that the 7D could, but there is no way that the E-M1 has better C-AF accuracy and speed than the 7D MkI let alone the 7D MkII. The lack of cross type AF points in the E-M1 can be a serious restriction for some targets.

I'm not sure about this ... I would suggest the initial acquisition is faster and more reliable than the 7D, but once acquired the 7D holds focus better. But it does very according to subject and conditions. I think this accounts for the variety of reports on relative performance - depends what you shoot I guess.

I agree with your settings, by the way, but I don't think that you need 9fps for shooting a puppy.
