Hello,

I'm getting back into M43 and am looking for a sensible solution for my AF needs. I sold my E-P5 (bad idea) and am just now picking up glass again. I've read up on the AF for the E-M1 and users seem to equate it with the capabilities of the original Sony a6000. Can anyone confirm if it has a noticeable increase in hit rate over...say...the E-P5. if not I might just wait for the E-M1 II to come down in price a bit more.

Versus an E-P5 it's chalk and cheese, the E-M1 is much better, especially with Pro lenses. I've shot lots of sports and other action with it and while it takes time and experimentation to master, it's a very competent camera even if five years old.

Cheers,

Rick
