New $700 Fujifilm X-M1

Has the X-M1 improved the somewhat challenging and slow AF on the X-E1? I can't see myself getting the X-M1. I like EVFs.

I don't believe so. There has been a firmware update that's supposed to improve the auto focus, although I haven't tried it so I can't say how much better it is. I think for real auto focus improvement, we're going to need to wait for the next generation, when they incorporate the new sensor they introduced with the X100S. That sensor has on-board phase detect pixels and is supposed to give the camera much better AF performance.
