Just bought an M3 with adapter, EVF, and 18-55mm lens to replace a G15. My primary use will be for non action pics, such as travel and similar. For action, I have a 70D. Will AF with STM lenses be adequate? How about EF and EFs lenses. No so much concerned about speed as they were OK on my SL1 but AF accuracy. Found that some IQ issues I was experiencing were really AF issues front/back focus which was eliminated with live view. The 70D has AF micro adjust which I now consider a necessity for an optical finder and very fast live view for everything but action. However, the 70D is not what I want to carry around for some travel. Thanks

Strangely my efs 18 135 usm nano with the adapter was not even the slowest on the m3. The 15 45 was awfully slow and had zero resolution around the 45mm setting. Tried the m5 extensively in store today. Not impressed with the AF 😣😣 at all. The fill flash in and outboard with the nissins and the ex canon m5 was mediocre. Even my 3 years old 100D was miles better. Stacking to the DSLRs for now. None of my Dslr and lenses (have 5 canon originals) needs afm on the 80D. On the 100D they are all outstanding too. Spot On!

BTW the fill-flash on the 100D and 80D is Superb!
