not sure what the eos m50 eye detect can do, but it really should not be hard for an algorithm and some CPU power to detect any eye in any sort of "face".

I don't think you can reliably focus exactly on an eye unless you have a PDAF autofocus point placed exactly over the eye.Maybe I’m mistaken about how it works, but I know that with my a7rii (and the iii I rented) the camera would often lose the eye but then default back to the face.
DJI Mavic 5 Prohigh time we would finally get AF systems truly worthy of the "artificial intelligence" moniker. eg, there should be no more need for a one-shot/servo-af switch. AI-AF mode should reliably take care if this and detect mition in frame in real time in mirrorfree ("live view") cameras.

Might be possible with DPAF, though.
If I'd designed it, it would be much more complicated (and likely never finished. Anyway, it would be something like AvTvM wants, but he would need to replace the batteries and put the camera into a beer cooler after every second shot).I thought it used subject recognition (i.e., a humanoid face), and then with pattern recognition picked the AF sensitive area closest to the eye.

Well that’s cool! I didn’t know the 5DS cameras had that function.
Can it do it when the whole bird is in the frame? If so, I’m entirely wrong.
That's not true: just replace the AE sensor with one with DPAF.thar's what we are talking about. mirrorslapper phase-af won't be able to auto-detect an eye and focus it.
I default to literal.No you are not entirely wrong, you just didn't spot a joke staring you in the face.

BUT today with the z6/z7 i really feel left behind. Why ?
In the DSLR line of products i think Nikons current models really are ahead compared to the Canon models, the D850 is better than my 5DM4/5DsR (i love my 5Dsr but still ...) , the D500 ist better than the 7DMII (which i owned and i tested the D500) even the D7500 (with some "issues like only 1 card and not grip option) is better than the 80D (i've tested them both - except video AF and Wifi as said before). Only the D5/1DX MII are probably on par.
If i had nothing and wanted a DSLR - i would go for a D850, a APS-C affordable sports camera - i would pick the D500 and a small carry around every day Dslr - the D7500 or even D5600.
And instead i would like to go mirrorless - i would pick the Z6 and a D850 as a combo.
The current resolution is about 500x300, but it is not a problem to increase it further.nope, not even then. not enough resolution.
But that's simply not true. A mirror, as well as a lens, in the light path is a solution.repeat after me: mirror in lightpath is always a problem, not a solution.
rather than fanbois apologizing camera makers shortcomkngs, se all should push them hard and demand "state of the art" tech from them.

As a Cannon shooter I should focus on what, where, how and when to shoot rather than what to shoot with.
The last is definitely the least to worry about!
The meaning didn’t change.
Canon calls the function Spokane mentioned “Eye Controlled Focus,” not “Eye Detection AF” or “Eye AF,” which are the Canon and Sony terms, respectively, for the function you described.
That's not true: just replace the AE sensor with one with DPAF.
thar's what we are talking about. mirrorslapper phase-af won't be able to auto-detect an eye and focus it. only possible in live view/mirrorfree - any AF would do (eg Sony hybrid AF can do the trick), so DPAF no prerequisite - but probably advantageous.
It is not "radical new technology".I can't see any of the major companies investing in radical new technology for DSLR cameras now
I heard the same about "the entire market focus is shifting over to" APS film 20 years ago. Turned out to be a fad.when it's clear the entire market focus is shifting over to mirrorless.
