The grass is not always greener.

I have the GX7 and GX8 they are very good all round performers, but like any camera system, these do vary in speed and accuracy depending on many variables, including lighting conditions, camera settings and the lens attached. I also have a Q -QS K10, K-01, K07, and just bought the K1. I have to say the K1 with the latest firmware and the appropriate focus points selected beats anything else I have used to date. I am using CF in 9 points selectable and I am amazed at the results even with older screw drive lenses such as the FA SMC 35-70mm. The K1 is performing spot on, fast and accurate autofocus, better than the Panasonics IMHO. I do love the GX7, and the GX8, M43 is great for video and automatic out of camera Panoramas, but I would stay with Pentax if you want the very best stills image performance, the K1 is brilliant.

PS. Have you tried manually focusing or using 'Catch-in Focus' it can be a lot of fun and very rewarding.
