Does it have continuous focus tracking in video mode?

I have found the answer myself. I have already bought the EP2 with the 17mm lens. I have also tried the GF1 with 14-140 of my friend. The continuous focus mode in EP2 is useless for video as it hunts for focus. You need to familiarize its limitations before you can bet some good video clips from it.

The GF1 is definately the best choice if you just want video. Its continuous focus mode is very smooth and it also has face detection in video mode too!

I do not regret in getting the EP2 as I also use it for photos. It art filters are fun!
