Any bodies competitive with Sony c-af or eye-af?

The E-M1 II might very well be able to do that (the OP's G7 might be good enough as well though), but what is your experience with the precision of the Olympus AF system? I only played with the E-M1 II in a showroom, but the one point AF area seemed way too big for me and I have seen people complain in this forum that the camera can even focus outside of that pretty large area. If I want to take a portrait of an unpredictable child, then I need to be able to quickly and reliably focus on the eye, instead of the nose or ear. Panasonic seems to me to have a pretty big lead in this area, so I am not sure the E-M1 II would be a relevant upgrade to a G7 for OP's purpose.

I think your getting a bit carried away. No camera is going to focus on an eye that fast period. I even dought you would be able to track the child.

I am not sure you are following me. I am not talking about how fast a camera can focus, but how precisely you can tell the camera what to focus on. If the AF area covers both the eye and the nose, then it's a lottery what will actually be in focus. If the camera has a tendency to focus outside the indicated AF area, then one will not be able to avoid misfocused shots in situations, where critical focus is important.
