M1/M2/M3/M10 AF is so-SLOW, you're end up selling it for M100

I can't recommend any M1/M2/M3/M10. The AF is god-awfully SLOW and also unreliable. Camera even managed to misfocus on an adult standing right in front of it for 2min. I have to resort to Thumb-Tap-LCD-Screen to "manually" direct camera where to focus. I call this my Thumb-AFsolution with 100% accuracy

Most people here end up selling the older M1/M2/M3/M10 for the superior M100/M50/M5/M6 because of an huge leap in AF accuracy & AF performance. Whatever you choose, you want Canon Dual-CMOS AF.

I think M1/M2/M3/M10 make a good B-Rolled Video Camera using a MF lens, combine with Magic Lantern to unlocks its video feature.  But I wouldn't use any of them for Continuous AF requirements.
