Guys, if M5 focuses great in low light then please tell me why the M5 with 18-150 lens focuses so poorly inside the Best Buy store, constantly hunting on the long end while the Panasonic ZS100 had no issues at all?

Because 1" sensors have a greater depth of field than APS-C sensors, so the former are easier to focus?

Between those two camera, there is about 1-1/2 stops difference in DoF at the long end and only 1 stop at the wide end.

The real reason for the difference is Panasonic is using more advanced AF algorithms with the DFD.  Panasonic is actually known for having some of the best low light AF capabilities compared to any other brand.
