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

I wouldn't give up my R5 for an R3 for eye focusing. The R5's face detection mode is fast enough, if not completely reliable for animals.

Architectural photography with a comparatively low-resolution camera is risky for moire patterns, especially brick buildings. However, the R3 will find buyers among sports photographers and others where high resolution is a secondary priority to quick focus tracking. I don't think it's being marketed by the usual channels as a general purpose upgrade from the R5.

Don't be dense, it's lens not 'lense'!
