Dpreview compares the $3,000 Olympus E-M1X with the $6,500 Nikon D5 camera:

“Those seeking the D5’s level of AF reliability would likely be better served by the Nikon D500.”

“I feel like those seeking the D5’s level of AF reliability would likely be better served by the Nikon D500 than the E-M1X: it’s more than a $1000 cheaper than Olympus’ flagship and sports a larger APS-C sensor and 10 fps continuous shooting with an autofocus system nearly as dependable as the D5’s.”
