[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 770821, member: 46690"] I have to admit, I'm not seeing any mention anywhere of the Z9 having the eye focus ability of the Canon R3 (including in the video clip posted here). And just to be clear, in case I wasn't previously, I don't mean an autofocus system that finds the eye of a subject, and tracks it. I mean the camera scans the [I]photographer's[/I] eye to see what he/she is looking at in the EVF, and focuses on that. So if there were a line of 3 birds and you looked at the middle one it would focus on that bird, then you glance to a bird on either side and the focus shifts there. The closest I could online was in [URL="https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikon-z9-initial-review-we-take-a-detailed-look-at-nikon-s-new-pro-mirrorless-camera"]the dpreview write up[/URL], which notes that Nikon's DSLR "3D Tracking" system has now finally been transported to the Z line - something that appears the video clip in the previous post here is demonstrating. Not that I'm in a position to buy the thing (I have no more kidneys to sell). It's just a curiosity thing :) [/QUOTE]
