I just snagged a very cheap Elan IIe film camera on craigslist. I know it only has three autofocus points, but damn if that eye-controlled autofocus isn't the bee's knees.
What happened? Why was it abandoned? I mean, I can appreciate the fact that with dozens of autofocus points it probably struggled to get the right one. And I understand that you're not ALWAYS looking right at what you want to focus on. But as someone who does 95% of their shooting with a single point selected, and can never seem to move the point to the one I want fast enough, I would really love something like this on the 5D4. Wouldn't it have gotten better over time if they would have just stuck it out and kept developing it? This seems like such an ahead of its time feature that seemed to get canned quickly.
