If you want super fast auto focus get a Canon SL2 with a kit lens. There are tons of bargains on the SL2. Its roughly the same size as an EOS M5.

It has the same sensor as the 80D, M5/M6,M100 + behaves like a regular DSLR + mirrorless when you want it too. You have the optical viewfinder + the ability to shoot off the screen.

Which it means it focuses like a bullet.

I have the original M, M3, M5 and a Canon DSLR.

For all intents and purposes the M and M3 auto focus is the same. Some people say the M3 is faster. If it is, its marginal. The M3 has other features such as tilting screen, more external controls, etc... The original M though is built like the proverbial vault.

The M5 is the closest to a DSLR but its still not quite a DSLR. It will hesitate in lower light and low contrast where a DSLR will focus no matter what. That being said my T2I is still faster.
