I am trying to put to gether a light video kit for travel .. these videos are for sharing with friends and family ,,

my 5d3 with its 24-702.8 mkii .. makes great video , but too heavy , i find it difficult to have things in focus as it does not af..
my t4i is lighter than the above , quality is fine ,, af with 24-70 is much better than it was with the kit lens ,, still on the heavy side after a while , and with it now being aprox 37mm view its not as wide as i like and not very steady..and even when focused on something still , it seems like sometimes the slightest movement the camera decides to lose focus for a second
i have the 14mm 2.8 rokinon.. its ok but when in selfie video mode i dont want to be messing with focusing//and ML focus peaking is better than nothing but still off sometimes

so i started looking at M4/3 cameras like the gh4 , gx8 g7 , they all have some awsome abilities for video, gh4 and gx8 is weather sealed which is a bonus , all are lighter than the 70d althought the g7 is really light ,, but i'm not sure how the af is ,
The g7 with the 7-14mm would be ideal because of weight and with such a wide angle most things should stay in focus ,, but i still wonder about af..anyone have experience with these?


is there anything else out there with good AF that is lighter than 70d with a touch screen, seems like every you tuber recomendation for those who want good AF in video points me to the 70d
