Current Fujifilm bodies offer a pretty darn excellent on sensor AF system. The X-H1 has the fastest processing out of their bodies with the latest algorythms.

Really there is no longer much to complain unless comparing it to the A9. Which can shoot electronic at 20 fps while still getting a full live-view feed.

Fujifilm got bad rep for good reason with their early models. The AF of the original X-Pro 1 was atrocious. The X-E1 no better.

Then things started to get better with the X-E2 especially with later firmware iterations.

Currently the X-Trans 3 models have little autofocus issues except when the PDAF stops working due to dark conditions.

I'm sure the X-H1 AF is more than good enough for my needs but I was just curious if there is anything supporting the statement that the A7III AF is only slightly better.   The reviews I've seen indicate the difference overall is pretty significant when you consider many aspects of the AF systems.
