"One of the Best"

Not

"The Best"

So he just as easily be saying it now matches or comes close to the EM-! mk2 PDAF system?

Please note - I am in the process of ordering a G9 so have no axe to grind, just pointing out what he said vs your interpretation

yeah... u are right.... reading too fast and missing stuff. I take it back

so we still don't have a direct test comparison of CAF between EM1.2 and G9.... although I think from everything we are seeing - even if the EM1.2 is better, it is probably very marginally so...

If, on the other hand SAF is much better in low light, it kinda balances it out unless you shoot mainly BIF.

If one uses SAF the majority of the time and often photographs things in very low illumination, then SAF performance would be far more important than CAF performance.

For those of us who find SAF rarely offers any advantage over CAF and almost never use it for stationary or moving targets, CAF performance it far more critical.
