I just wonder if olympus em1 ii has better continuous AF than canon 6D for better soccer photo……

And I am really tired of carrying huge and heavy gear so having thought switch to olym-combo......

I owned 6D and 6Dii before deciding to sell a lot of my Canon gear.  I find the M1ii a much better performer than either of the 6s for sports... I shoot soccer and rugby.

However, I do still own a 7Dii with 100-400ii. That is my primary setup for sports as I find i get a much higher hit rate than the Oly. And, of course, the lens gives me further reach.

The 6s, much like an 80D I also owned, are okay for sports, but having experienced the performance of the 7Dii, they paled in comparison. The M1ii has taken more effort to understand its performance, and I’m not proficient yet, but it does work very well.
