The DPR review of the Yi MFT camera is not pretty: https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/yi-m1/7 https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/yi-m1/7 The main complaint is that it has very poor autofocus ("unusable" in continuous and video modes). Good autofocus is important, especially for entry-level cameras, so I don't think Olympus and Panasonic are too concerned about Yi stealing market share from their entry-level models.

This probably affects less than 10% of action camera users (who uses action cameras in low light?!). I've only used a gopro either outside (hiking, skiing) or underwater snorkeling. If I can get a similar one for half the price I will on my next purchase.
