I just got an R6 in for review, and my first impressions are equally positive. AF is absolutely fantastic...very near Sony A9 levels, which is exceptionally high praise. That and the truly exceptional IBIS have me thinking of what I can sell to keep my review unit.
99%, huh? How is the percentage when an audience is present? I can never understand when the merits of eye/face detect AF are "illustrated" on a solitary subject with no audience. How does it work when the main subject is one face in a sea of dozens?

I believe it prefers the nearest face. If it gets confused, you can use the joystick to move between faces if there's only a few in frame. For situations where there are a ton of faces behind the subject, I believe that's where AF configuration comes in. So you can manually tell the camera what your subject is, then engage eye AF and it'll track.

it is close but rolling shutter is not on the same level as A9
