Even if all the tests are not perfect, even if all the youtubers are not all pros (Chris Nicolls from DP review included who recently reported this problem), even if certain tests can be qualified as flawed, I think there is enough evidence from others users as well to ascertain that Fuji's updated autofocus is still quite far from being on par with Canon and Sony.

To me at this stage in the game, it is a disappointment.

As long time Fuji user, XT2/XH1/Xpro3 user, I was hoping for better AF performance at this point.

Whether it is because the X5 processor cannot handle 40MP files, or because Fuji just cannot once for all fix its oof/false positive focus problem that has plagued its cameras for generations, it will be difficult for me to find an upgrade path within the Fuji system going forward...

The fact that some of the tests were not perfect or that some of the reviewers were not professionals was just a straw man anyway. I wrote “professsionals or people who look like they know what they’re doing”, and I think that’s by and large right.
Anyway, it’s still early days, it seems that a lot of people are still waiting for their cameras to be delivered, so I’m sure we’ll have a clearer picture of things when the number of users reaches a certain threshold.
