If AF is a concern, you should have a hard look at the M6 Mark II

+1 Using Spot AF with Servo (doing the tracking myself), I’m confident that I could shoot anything on the planet with an M6ii. The (Spot) AF is lightning fast to acquire, and sticks like glue. Here’s a previous thread that details some of what it’s capable of…

I have found a case where the M6ii with spot AF and servo cannot reliably track and shoot... an Amtrak train moving towards you at 70 mph!

I have tried this multiple times, and most of the time the M6ii can't even lock on the nose of the train when its 100-200 feet away, either in spot or single-point AF. The train appears to be moving just too quickly. I have lost entire sequences as the M6ii sometimes never even locks on the train and the shutter won't fire.

In 'Tracking' AF mode with servo on, it works brilliantly. 14 fps drive mode - and every frame is sharp. The M50ii could do this as well in AF tracking mode.

IMHO RLight’s evaluation is right on the money.
