Does one really need the best CAF?

I have both the 6d and em1m2 and shot a lot of soccer games’. For outdoor soccer the Olympus is my go to. It has a faster focusing system, pro-capture mode with Olympus lenses, better then twice the frame rate and moderately decent continuous tracking (however Inthink Iam better at it then the camera).

You make a very interesting comment......"I think I am better......" Does one really need top CAF?

Best

The one caveat to this is low light situations. Indoor soccer I use the canon because I am. using iso 6400 or more and the Olympus photo quality is lacking in my opinion once you start to climb that high. I use a canon 50-200 2.8 for indoor soccer and a 4/3’s 50-200 plus a cheap refurbished Olympus 50-150 micro 4/3’s lens that does much better then I expected.
