G5X M2 AF - how slow?
Re: G5X M2 AF - how slow?
I guess a lot of this will come down to how accustomed you've become to phase detect vs contrast detect autofocus.
I was happy with the original G5X autofocus. I've since upgraded to the G1X Mark III, with its phase detection.
I recently used a G5X Mark II on a trip and found it to be a good all-around camera for travel. But as fast as the AF was on it, I just got used to the phase detect of the G1X Mark III, so the G5X Mark II felt noticeably less confident in some situations (like keeping focus tracking something in video at longer focal lengths). But the f/2.8 and range are nice indeed in a camera that size.
