Default Will Fuji PDAF save P&S's from the dumpster of history?

Or will the camera phone still wipe them out? Once you can focus
faster, you can more fully appreciate how bad P&S images are, because
now you can't blame the ugliness on motion blur or a missed shot.

Good thing that system allows it to choose between the two methods. I'd
NEVER want to depend on PDAF alone for my photography. After having seen
how many PDAF snapshots from these crappy auto-everything snapshooters have
always got the focus wrong, I'd rather have the slightly slower but more
highly accurate CDAF any day. My CDAF cameras focus in the dark fast enough
to perfectly focus on insects in rapid flight. With PDAF it would focus on
a flower behind the subject, or something else. NO thanks. (Well, actually,
in that scenario PDAF becomes absolutely useless, low light.) Though I
might see an advantage in combining the two. Let PDAF calculate the
approximate distance (as it always does), then let CDAF correct PDAF's
ever-present inherent focusing flaws.
