Not sure there is a need to such an approach or development, which IMO I find completely inapropriate here. In this forum there is a part of a game, Kind of MMA with some people, in french we would rather say "cour de récréation"  (children playground "bataille de coq" young cockfight and not sure to take it at 1st degree but rather with a garain of salt.

One possible issue is that many people buy their precious toy without really knowledge about the model. So they can be disapointed later on. When I decided to get a second body alongside the Xh2s I perfectly knew that there will be some limitations of the Xh2 in terms of AFc But the balance of pros and cons was on the positive side : excatly same body and Ui. Plus the sensor. Having this camera I just decided to get also the best it can achieve, which is not perfect but finally quite good provided you accept some compromises. just developing a realistic approach, not defending anything, but trying to share this approach.

Both cameras XT5 and Xh2 have got very good reviews among known and serious reviewers (4 to 5 marks) and as everything, "nobody is perfect", a lot of pros and some cons among which the AF system. Not sure the vast majority of XT5 buyers will spent their time in BIF, race, football, etc  photography. And if they do they will get 50% success and all the photos they need. No drama, no abyssal hazard.

Morris here clearly showed that the best alternative systems also have issues (again nobody is perfect).

Some posters are very agressive in their critique which turns to la violence répond à la violence. End of a useful, fruitful debate, beginning of long sterile polemics, controversies.

Finally instead of regretting (in France and in general in EU it is not possible to return such gears only because you are not pleased with) developping a realistic positive attitude to get the most from what you bought and just assume your choice.
