Someone sent me this link to Fro's video. For anyone not understanding all the disappointment about the R1 and it not being a flagship should watch this video as Fro does a good job explaining why:




Didn't watch the whole half hour , eye controlled af looks pretty good though


When I owned the R3, I used eye control a fair bit while shooting cheetahs in Tanzania and I found it to work really well. One thing I did was to make it a point to do additional performance/refine calibrations for the same calibration number based on the different lighting situations. To be clear I didn't need to do it all the time... it was something I did if the lighting was something I did not have recorded before. The big negative I found using it was that it drained the battery a lot faster.


This is good info, thanks for sharing. On my R5, I've found eye tracking to be pretty poor when it comes to big cats. I've set my camera up such that I typically use the joystick to get the focal point close to what I want to track before engaging the eye tracking. I'm hopeful that the eye tracking on the R52 will speed up that process. I wish Canon would take a break from all the sports mode and add some wildlife modes
