Although my photos are usually in focus the red square shown in camera and DPP is often "elsewhere" and I don't use BBF. Edit: Here's what I sometimes get. Obviously, using eye AF the red square ...

I'm sorry, but you must be either blind or incompetent. Everyone I showed your *original* jpgs to also commented on the slapdash masking which meant that some of the background was sharpened along ...

To further this, there's been numerous times I've had the blue square on an eye (BiF or other moving animal) but the red square(s) is/are often nowhere near even though the eye is usually in ...

I don't do much football photography but I think the R5 is awesome for the job. That said, I haven't got experience of the Z9, R6 or any of the Sony cameras so can't do a comparison. Unless you're ...

When you eventually get the RF 100-500 I am quite sure you won't find that too "large, heavy and bulky" to use extensively too :)

But just about all modern lenses are designed to be used with software corrections so it's kinda like comparing 2 cars, but without the wheels. Still, I guess you can compare the aircon :-D

Interesting. One thought... I assume you used DPP to process them as, obviously, using Adobe or DxO for lens corrections etc makes any comparison worthless

I have the RF 24-104 f/4 and the RF 100-500 but decided to take the plunge with the 70-200 f/2.8 even though I have that focal range "covered". What can I say? The 70-200 has become my favourite ...

Having had the OP kindly show me the "original" jpgs they don't look much different from those on here, with all the sharpening artefacts, inaccurate masking etc, but the OP sees nothing wrong ...

Unless you're flapping about yourself, 1/2500 is plenty quick enough so I think Canon might be making things up on that one. I suspect, at times, the IBIS throws a wobbler. I'd also use eye AF on ...

How about making your original processed image available?

For interest's sake, can you upload one of the original RAWs to an upload service as  I have never seen results like this anywhere else on DPR?

I don't use BBAF and have the occasional lock-up. It happened yesterday with the camera dangling around my neck with an RF100-500. I am using 1.5.1. That said, the lock-ups are so infrequent they ...

Oh! Thanks. Every new firmware I dutifully go into menus, re-enable P mode and do the update. No longer.... :)

I think the speculation is mainly on the side of those who think it likely that Canon would make live a *major* AF upgrade/change without going through the usual ways of announcing it.  That said, ...

Ditto. My workflow starts with PL5 and DeepPrime on everything, although I prefer ACR and Photoshop for most of the rest.
