maybe im crazy but I just trust the highlights and look for the bright green lines in the eyes / nose area, or right at a central part of an object. A couple rolls back and forth on the focus to confirm.

Was watching another review. Over all positive except when it came to the AF (no surprise). https://youtu.be/xqKTamQm-Vw?t=759
He includes real examples to illustrate where it fails. In a wedding it totally screws up a bride and groom ceremony shot. https://youtu.be/xqKTamQm-Vw?t=794 He also says in low light and contrast situations (that you would find in most night shooting or indoor things like wedding receptions, it's useless, so much so the camera automatically shuts off AFC below a certain exposure.

I give Panasonic a hard time about AF as much as anyone, but no one is moving in that shot.
I know he's using an example he has, but in situations like that you can use push AF and hold the camera still like he did. The sensor is so small that an inch or two one way or the other will not matter much from that distance. And even if it did, you could look at the screen/peaking and inch back and forth with the couple if anyone did move (they didn't though).
All-in-all, I guess it's still valid because it shows AF failing in even the most simplest situation.

I also think he make a good point, at this entry level price range, people will more likely value AF more, more likely to be shooting solo event work not on a movie set with a crew of people, proper lighting, etc. It really comes back to what type of work are you using this camera for.

Even though I would love to buy a mirrorless A7s3, A74, R5c, GH6, BM6k, etc. I don't do the type of work that warrants such a purchase. I mainly do theater and legal work with some interviews and other random stuff thrown in. So dropping 5-7k on mirrorless setup for 5% random jobs doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Those are the two most specific jobs in the world that can't justify a new camera purchase. lol
Like, one has people probably sitting in front of white walls talking about depressing stuff, and the other is mostly a dark scene with only the stage lit up where almost every camera you use looks the same, and you probably need rocker zooming.

Thx but I already own 4 camcorders (a pair of Panasonic UX90s and JVC HM600). Camcorders ironically haven't change much over the past 5 years.

Not a type of shooting I have a lot of recent experience with, but it seemed like the eND and AF were very useful. As was the servo zooms on our PZ 28-135's and the IS. All those aspects helped me concentrate on getting smooth shots and pointing the camera in the right place (which ultimately seems like the most important thing).
I think the guy recently started up and invested in gear. To be sure, it's a lot of camera gear to buy at once... but if that shoot was any indication,, I feel like mirrorless cameras lose out for lack of ND
