My last Deer shot with Panasonic GHM2 using autofocus (who needs PDAF lol)

That just shows that one camera has a slow sensor drive and is sluggish and the other one is better it demonstrates nothing

And the point is you need to detect that you are off before you can correct and how does the camera do that whilst it is processing the entire video stream?

It does not have another channel to process the phase difference pixels in parallel or if it did it can't cope with it

So, you simply don't believe the reviewer when he directly states that firmware upgrade 3.0 added PDAF when using C-AF in during video recording?

If you have evidence that the information is wrong, please provide it.

In case you haven't figured it out yet, this guy has no clue what he's talking about. There's really no point in engaging with him, he's just going to continue going around littering the forums with nonsense until the mods finally getting around to taking some kind of action.

It can use what it likes but yet it fails

which goes back to the fact PDAF on its own doesn’t solve the video issues

Your example is blurred

dpreview test of the em1x is blurred

This thing just doesn’t work let alone being better

and when I had the camera firmware 3.2 it wouldn’t work at all and miss

so what is that you were saying?

should a system not deliver results to conclude is better? Or performance is just optional?

We can agree to disagree about whether the Olympus AF system works and how well. I’ve read enough reviews to be convinced that it does. Unfortunately for you, examples of isolated “failures” aren’t proof that a system doesn’t work, especially when other examples show it does.

You asked who needs PDAF. I responded that I do and provided a professional review that indicated another use case as well. So, rhetorical question answered.

Finally, you repeatedly provided incorrect information about the Olympus system and I corrected you.

Clearly the subject of PDAF touches a nerve for you. Perhaps you should avoid the subject.
