I sold my EOS M10 and now I want to buy a new camera, so theses are the two options I'm considering. I have the superb EF-M 22mm lens (what a lovely lens that is!) and I like Canon colors (although I heard the M3 leans towards greenish side?) and their simple menu systems, so I'm tempted to stay with the M system. The M3 is the best I can afford right now. But I'm worried because the M10, while capable of taking beautiful pictures, was horribly slow to autofocus and in some conditions it would only manage to hunt back and forth. Not sure that M3 will be much better because it doesn't have DPAF.

From what I've heard the Olympus has better autofocus but then my 22mm lens becomes useless for the forseeable future, and I have to invest in MFT lenses.

Any advice, guys? Thank you.

MFT is not for everyone.  If you had problems focusing with the MFT, you should stay with the M10.  One of the first tasks for a photographer, it to get focus.   
ON the other hand some like the contrast AF because it's more accurate and faster in some cases like low light.  And depending on the camera it can be very good or very bad.
