There have been issues with the prior release to the current one and things are moving in the right direction. I did a follow up video on this just last week, where I tested the video auto focus and its ok as long as you stay with the same subject. As I explained in this video, while the AF struggled, I was asking the camera to do rather daft things, you'd not really move around like this! The issue with stills is that the camera could focus on the background sometimes, or if you did not tell the AF to focus on foreground subjects, it would randomly pick on, so I was getting misses in portrait shots. Fuji AF is a bit different to other cameras, and needs a helping had sometimes. Folks compare to Sony, which is better, but Sony tends to cost more too. I think there is still room for improvement to the fuji AF though, but the latest firmware is an improvement.

@@BrentODell I shoot lumix too! The G9 ii is very good by all accounts. My S5iix is really good for AF

@@NatsWright The S5ii seems like a REALLY great deal for the price, and I like the lens lineup for the L-mount, too. If I didn't want/need the 2x crop factor of micro 4/3 for wildlife, I'd seriously consider going that route.

@@BrentODell The 2x crop is worth it, although the image quality on the S5ii is amazing!

The AF was not to bad on the initial launch, but the updates this year seem to have issues. Its very frustrating!

I heard about this issue, and will certainly check it out and do a mini video on it! Thanks for the heads up!

Yes!

Haha, yes, I was standing next to a load of photographers the other day all discussing their AI autofocus, and I exclaimed "I'm using single point AF" The AI certainly has its place, but single point is very accurate and you use the best setting for the situation! Sony is very expensive and fuji just have such lovely colour science. They have come a long way since the likes of the XA-5 autofocus too.
