Does anybody have a m43 like gx85 or od m10? How is the focus speed on moving subjects?

By all accounts the AF-C on the Olympus E-M10 I and II is particularly poor. The Olympus E-M10 II generally only really has two poor points for it's price point:

  • AF-C
  • No 4K video

The reviews always comment on the poor AF-C so at least for that particular model stay clear if you want improvements in that area.

The best AF-C in m43 world are the Olympus E-M1's and Panasonic's with DFD. At least based on all the internet reviews.

Really in Pentax world the AF isn't that bad. I don't get all the negative comments. It's not class leading but you can still get plenty of keepers if you know what you are doing and select the right lenses.  I should add, I don't use any of the Pentax models with the old 11 point AF system.  That's one thing I would not go back to.
