Re: r3 eye control looks like a game-changer (again)

I had no fewer than 5 bodies with ECF - 5, 50E, 55, 3 and 30V. It worked absolutely flawlessly for me on all cameras, although it was particularly handy on the 3 and 30V. It's a vastly superior method of selecting a focus point to the ghastly joystick.

I wouldn't have a problem with the MP count of the R3 for things I would use the T3 for, but I couldn't justify the cost compared to the more than adequate R6 for my needs in this area, nor do I want a bigger, heavier camera if I can avoid it. And for areas where I do need more pixels, I don't need high frame rates or AF any better than the R5. I'm not the target market. But I do hope the update technology trickles down into an R6 II.
