Re: Can Canon AF do real time tracking of objects (not just faces,eyes,cars,animals etc)?

But how do you chose the point you want to focus on with the Back Button? Of course you could use the joystick or the touchscreen, but for me it is much easier to use the tracking of an object that I have targeted with the existing AF field and then re-compose.

Perhaps you are meaning the following scenario: Use the AF field in the center, focus via back Button and then re-compose. But the pitfalls of the old focus and re-compose technique performed with DSLRs would apply again: Deviations and potential misfocus due to re-compose, not taking into account filed curvature, etc. Continuous AF tracking will avoid exactly these pitfalls.
