focusing is very little compare to Nikon flagship. Nikon has the luxurious AF points

Don't play play....is 12fps ok!!!

this one is using the translucent mirror. 12fps actually very slow arr because the mirror doesn't have to flip-flap up down just like the normal SLR system... in SLR design, the limitation in mechanical design to stabilize the mirror mechanism without getting 'mirror slap' that burdens the higher fps..
