Is the XM1 as fast at focusing as the XE2 and XA1? It came out a few months earlier, has the previous sensor, but the same processor. I have had some mixed responses so far. The XE1 is frustratingly slow for me, so I am hoping it is on a par with the other two. Thanks.

I owned the X-M1 with the 16-50 kit lens.  Even after firmware upgrading to improve AF, it was much slower focusing than my X-E2S. The X-E2 can now also focus faster as well, with firmware 4.0.
