It's not lightning fast, like the M6II, or as fast as the M6, but it's more than adequate for most uses, including portraits and landscapes. It copes perfectly well with the kind of shots you posted.
Actually it didn't cope well at all. With a bit of a breeze the AF couldn't keep up with the movement of the flowers and branches — which led to my comment. I agree it should be fine for objects that are truly static and in other respects is a very nice camera.
That's weird. My M copes with that kind of situation well. Were you in servo using single point, or all points? Perhaps the M3 AF is not as good as the original M (after firmware update). I have seen people say that the M3 is the worst of the M line, but I've never tried one, so I don't know.
Thanks for the thoughts on this. I used 1 point AF in One Shot not Servo mode. Maybe Servo would have made a difference? The tree is near where I live and I had taken photos with an M6 the day before without any issues under the same conditions. Anyway, the M3 worked so well in manual focus mode that I thought to mention it if anyone out there is looking for that sort of thing.
