That's hilarious. :-D

@TRU

I like the acronym.

It could also be called DECAF - Direct Eye Control Auto Focus

for when you still have the shakes from not having had your early morning coffee on a shoot.

Then wait for the R1 or Sony A1 ii with Thought Control AF. 😉

@gameshoes3003

Ah, sorry. I misunderstood you in that case.

I see that in context of lower end cameras if it gets to them eventually.

All good. 👍

It would be interesting to find out indeed. I suppose it would depend on each person.

I wonder if darker coloured contact lenses could be a work-around as it seems to work with contact lenses.

Indeed.

The MWD also concurs.

Do you really think a "Pro" or enthusiast would splash 6K on a camera and not make the effort to set it up properly and also calibrate that feature?

I would find that hard to believe.

How many...

From posting something positive about Canon cameras in the Sony forums. 😉

🤣

I'm sure it will work with black eyes too. I have had a few of those.

World Eye colour percentages: -

Brown 75%
Blue 9%
Amber 5%
Hazel 5%
Grey 3%
Green 2%
Heterochromia/red/violet 1%

I have green eyes so I hope it works for me.

I'm pretty sure the article said it is *not* a gimmick by a long shot.

But each to their own, I suppose.

CIPA ratings (battery and IS) ARE pretty much meaningless metrics irrespective of what DPR says.

In real world usage there are too many variables involved from climate, photographer usage,...

Yeah, Just like 12 mp is advanced on the Sony a7s iii.

@thx1138 Doesn't look like the A1 has an all day battery either.

Camera Model MP Price PP/MP
Sony a7S iii 12 $3,500 $292
Canon R3 24 $6,000 $250
Sony a9 ii 24 $4,500 $188
Canon R6 20 $3,500 $175
Sony A1 50 $6,500 $130
Canon R5 ...

Some people pay $3500 for 12mp. Sony Alpha a7S iii

I wouldn't call a 144, 000 dot LCD screen advanced by today's standards.

And I'm so grateful that Canon made the R5 for $2600 less than the A1.
