Long time M43 user (still have my G1 - now IR converted) shooting G7 and many native lenses.

I am cross shopping A73, a6400, and Fuji X-t30 for better c-af for candids of my twin toodlers. Shortof the em-1x, what is next best for fast moving kids?

Panasonic G9 and GH5 line, Olympus E-M1 II.

When shooting people with my E-M1 II, I use face and eye detect exclusively and focus on composition. It has been very reliable for me, never missed a shot. It even works quite well with Metabones and the Sigma 18-35, although that combo is less reliable because AF is simply not as fast as with native lenses. The only lens with which this does not seem to work well is Panasonic 20mm f/1.7, because it just cannot do C-AF.
