I need to get my hands on the camera again so I can really give the continuous AF a serious test. I *did* push the Nikon J1 hard though and can vouch for its continuous AF capability. At the time, it was, by far, the best continuous AF available in a compact system camera. If it wasn't for Nikon's CX smaller sensor, I would have been all over the Nikon 1 system. The Olympus E-M5 is absolutely my favorite compact system camera so far, but until I can get results similar to the ones in the link you posted, I'm gonna have to remain a bit of a skeptic.
Rumor has it that the new NEXi will have main sensor Phase AF. - TF
