Indeed, it would be interesting to study why you so happily ignore what Foto Magazin has found, and why you pretend the AF accuracy with mirrorless is faultless.

 

Your view on things certainly seems to be coloured by your apparently bad experiences with past Pentax DSLRs and problematic D800.

 

Very simple: PDAF can be as accurate as CDAF with specific prime lenses perfectly calibrated at a specific distance. Zooms are a different matter. However, not repeatedly and especially not consistently with several lenses across different distances and light sources.

From a technical point of view, CDAF is bound to be more consistently accurate. That's simply physics.

Now, you managed to found 1 single test where PDAF leads to a very slightly better accuracy over CDAF. Great. However, it doesn't change the fact that there are tons of reports from photographers stating the exact opposite.

 

BTW, I never said that mirrorless was perfect, nothing is. It's just more consistently reliable at focusing accurately.
