Yeah, pretty interesting. If they were talking about the GH2 vs. D800 I would comment:
They WAY over stated the general accuracy of AF all together and WAY under stated the difference between AF on the GH and the D800.
But of course they were talking about the GH3 vs the D800 and they said the GH3 was "30% to 40% better AF than the GH2" so then I guess I have to accept that.
I've found that the general accuracy (and often speed) on consumer grade Canikon as well as mirrorless cameras is totally lacking! I prove this to myself over and over by Using AF on any of the systems and then using the MF assist (live-view zooming) to check the focus. 4 out 5 times on both the GH2 and GH1 as well as all of the Canikons I've tried, the AF is inaccurate. This is not even considering the times where the AF couldn't find my subject AT ALL because of the BG or FG (or both). The Canon 1D systems (not consumer grade models) for example don't suffer so and the inverse is true: 4 out of 5 times the AF nails it - again not counting the times where AF will just always fail.
The ending was kinda interesting too:
"Have you taken a look at Nikon's mirrorless camera?"
"No, I haven't."
"Don't! It'll ruin your opinion of Nikon."
"No, I haven't."
"Don't! It'll ruin your opinion of Nikon."
