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

quite a bit faster. To be honest, it is hard to explain and to get excited about if you have never used it. Here is an example video (should start at 6:42):

He is using the joystick at the beginning to shift the position of the tracking focus field, this is of course not necessary (guess he is doing it because his camera is on a tripod and he wants to start with the figure in the center). And of course this is again a somewhat static setup, in realworld usage you will be moving yourself much more for e.g. weddings.

Here another very quick example on how to switch really fast between any object tracking and subject detection (3:41) (just watch the next 10 seconds):

Another example, well explained (6:07):

Update: This is actually the best video, at 7:50 he demonstrates fast toggling between eye AF and tracking.

Maybe you can see the usefullness to have this mode and kind of tracking performance.

Canon cameras actually do it better than these videos. Set subject detection to Auto (or Face+Tracking on RP) and Initial Servo AF point to center, and it will focus properly on anything in the center box without having to press any "function" buttons. Focus and recompose with full tracking. The OP said this doesn't work on Canons, but it does on mine.

Yes.

Laqup mounted a phone on a hotshoe, then because we don't do the same, he gets to complain that we can't provide a video so our cameras must not work. Anyone going to do that? No, me neither.

But he's clearly trolling, as he shows in his next post.  At some point it borders on breaking forum rules because of blatant commercialism.

DON'T FEED THE TROLLS, FOLKS.
