The mirrorless cameras may hunt in low light and have difficulty in focusing when the light isn't optimal but give them good light and the focusing is solid, very accurate. They may not be for sports photography, but they do everything else pretty well.
I focused here on the nearest eye and had only a couple of seconds to do it and it was spot on. So when someone says that focusing is slow on these cameras, take it with a pinch of salt because it's all relative. I must admit the OM-D is very a fast focusing camera, probably the fastest mirrorless camera out there right now. It could even have been faster if I had a prime on there like the Olympus 45 f1.8 or the 12 f2.
I would rate the Fuji X series on par with the Sony Nex series, and they aren't on the same level as the Olympus and Panasonic models. A bit slower I'd say but I still wouldn't class them as slow. Take a Sigma DP series camera, and see what slow focusing is. They would drive me nuts.
This is the last image for now taken with this combination and I hope it gives you an idea of the type of image you get if you're planning on purchasing either the OM-D or the original Panasonic G Vario f4-5.8.
As a matter of interest the woman in the above photograph is an Olympic Gold Medalist. The horse was simply out of this world, a beautiful creature.
