You aren’t trolling IMO... but for what I do and use it for the S1R AF is fine. It’s not as bad as many reviewers say... and I’d even argue that it’s better than I expected based on reviews. I do believe that DFD will get to a place where the difference in systems is negligible. The LUMIX S is a lot better than the LUMIX G in AF. Even still, there’s room for improvement but I will say in photography it is accurate.Not wanting to troll... but I knew this would be a flaw in the S1 bodies... I thought, maybe, Panasonic would surreptitiously move to PDAF or similar with the FF bodies (rather like Fuji use a Bayer and not Trans sensor in the GFX series). It came as no surprise to me when reviewers of the new Panasonic FF systems consistently reported AF issues with moving subjects with the camera.
I hear what you say about Sony. I may have to consider it more seriously. It is actually a lot more expensive, even with the now discounted A9 (vs A9II) than the Olympus/Pro 300 kit. But you make a good point. I might feel more inspired by actually getting the shot than failing to do so. It is a shame their prime glass is soooo expensive (compared to the Pro 300/4).
More going round the decision loop.... sometimes I feel more like Sheldon Cooper than a wildlife enthusiast...

Can you rent or borrow some of these systems to test? If I remember correctly, you moved back to Fuji X because the GFX system was heavy. The larger the sensor, the bigger and heavier the glass.Not wanting to troll... but I knew this would be a flaw in the S1 bodies...

I wonder if there will be an introductory offer of a free grip? :grin: :ROTFL:just got the info that the newly to be introduced EM1.3 will be basically a mini EM1X without the grip

When I owned the E-M1 Mark I, the grip never left the camera. If the price of the E-M1X sinks to around the same level as the mark III plus grip, I'll choose the X for sure... I think :ROTFL:I wonder if there will be an introductory offer of a free grip? :grin: :ROTFL:
No, not for the EM5.3 - BUT for the EM1.3 - and good news is it is the same grip as EM1.2 :thumbup:Is there a battery grip available for the Olympus E-M5.3? :facesmack:
Olympus cameras are definitely not for youWhen I owned the E-M1 Mark I, the grip never left the camera. If the price of the E-M1X sinks to around the same level as the mark III plus grip, I'll choose the X for sure... I think :ROTFL:
Or probably neither, since the Olympus functionality still bothers me :toocool: :ROTFL:
