Quick follow up on this since I got the em1iii:

  • Video works great. I don’t care about 4K but FHD at /60p is really good.
  • CAF in video is fantastic. Much much better than on my S1.

could you elaborate on the comparison with your S1?

I actually think I will use this one much more for casual video than i would have expected

I am thinking about getting Oly for video because of its AF, even though it is Pana which is considered to be "videocentric".

Basically if the Oly locks on, it stays on. No wobble, no focus loss. only thing I find is that the Oly locks on to faces later and not when further away. And there is no body detect. But still it judges the scene well without any wobbling. I found the GX9 almost useless with CAF in video.
the S1 is fine but not 100%

I am really no video shooter and mostly don’t know what I’m doing there, so please consider this the impression of someone who presses that red button to film the kids.

I also don’t care zilch about 4K60p or VLog etc.  YMMV...
