Thanks Lindsay. Unfortunately I don't have the option to return it. Fingers crossed for the firmware to have a magic fix, but I guess this is basically inherent in the system.
It was a toss up between the OMD and XE-1. From reviews I knew the OMD was faster to focus but I did assume that it would be at least as fast as a an 18 month old G3! I also had a couple of M43 lenses so it would have been a cheaper option :-( Anyway, its done now and to be honest the images are excellent. Will make sure not to over invest in lenses though for the Fuji until I see what happens with the focus.
I've still got the Canon 50D so for fast focus I'm covered but did expect that the XE-1 would take over for all but motor sports and birds... I guess not
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
