My quick comparison wasn't meant to be a professional review but to show what I generally experienced with the two cameras. Shooting different subjects like landscapes or close-ups didn't change much in AF speed, and while shooting in low light the Panasonic lens/camera slowed down less than the E-P1. However, both cameras/lenses are very capable and never prevented me from taking the shots I wanted. There are lots of other important facts, as well, like AF precision and great JPEG engine of the E-P1 that made me keep the E-P1 for now. I totally agree – AF tests are tricky to do.

Still, it's pretty obvious that Pana put more work into AF performance and that it pays off. With its EVF and better AF speed, it's clear that the Pana is the better choice of the two for action shooting. On the other hand, I'd have to say I was surprised to see that the Eepy One's AF performance doesn't bite as much as I thought it would. I'm sure that for a lot of people who shoot primarily static subjects, it'll be completely acceptable.
