No matter how advanced DSLR AF might be, I always struggle with focuspoint being on the wrong place. If I do portrait I change composition a lot. I don't do one composition and dozens of facial expressions. So I need to navigate this bloody AF points quite a lot. That's a slow process and influences framing all the time. Due to field curvature of some lenses, outside AF points are sometimes less precise wide open. Also, while trying to focus the eye I sometimes lose the composition - sharp eye, poor framing and not always possible to correct in post.

 

So, I'm more than ready for a good quality mirrorless with well performing eye-detection AF because I know, in sufficient light I'd get more keepers. And in insufficicent light? That's a gambling even with "advanced DSLR AF", because only the center points and some horizontally and vertically crossing the center points are highly sensitive. The majority of those 51 points are not much of a help = keeper rate goes down. As long as I don't try a contemporary mirrorless, I can't judge which system is better for me.

 

As a sidenote: I'm going to replace my Canon G10 with another compact for all the moments when I just want a responsive camera with me, no lens-change and everything I need on board. I was looking first at Sony RX100 mark IV and because it was in the shelf, too, also the Canon G5X which is a bit bulkier, less pocketable. I can't judge IQ but easy to use was the Canon - and the AF very snappy, I liked that a lot. I know  the IQ won't be best in the market in this class. Small sensor, high MP. But dials, buttons and finder (especially EVF quality) was like made for me. Weak point of the Sony: The menu, missing touchscreen, tilt-only, not swivel display. And when the EVF comes out, you still need to pull a part of it backwards. Fiddly.

 

Maybe you should wait, toni-a, until Canon brings a mirrorless FF.
