Slight edge to R3, according to him.

Thanks aftab

As a R5 user, I am hoping some of that AF will be available in the upcoming firmware upgrade.

Maybe. Some features are being added, but follow focus like that require added processing power. Not sure the R5 has the same AF hardware as the R3.

I thought that the R3 was using the same processor as the R5. Does the the BSI stacked sensor or lower resolution require less processing power that can be diverted to follow focus?

I don't believe that the processor in the R3 is different. It's entirely the sensor, which provides it's speed mainly. That's why I believe the focus update should give us very similar results. We'll find out next week. Can't wait!

Name the gear and I've probably owned it and used it.
