Canon is claiming industry-leading autofocus on the RP. Does that mean it is better than the R? If so, will the R get a firmware upgrade?

EOS R has more AF points 143 to 5332 or so.

EOS R goes down to -6EV and EOS RP to -5EV.

ESO RP has servo eye detect AF and EOS R does not but its been promised in a future firmware upgrade.

I don't know if its faster to AF than EOS R. Where did you read its industry leading AF?

They are probably referring to the time to AF in sunlight with certain lenses and single point AF. Certainly not industry leading in video AF nor Eye detect AF or tracking AF.

My EOS R single point AF is blindingly fast. About the same as my A7riii as an impression.

Both are way more than what you really need to get the photo.
