  1. why does Canon not add the Animal Eye AF to the 1DX Mark III ? I do not understand since the R5 has this feature already.
    Therefore the 1 DX Mark III falls behind the R5 for the Wildlife Photographer ;o(((
    There will need to be a few good reasons to buy the RX1.

    They could only add it to the LiveView. And while they may still do it, I think it makes sense to keep the AF quality in the OVF not to far behind LiveView.
