It will be interesting if Canon answers the Sony FR7, with the PZT camera tracking technology

Personally, worked on a 7 camera setup, using broadcast cameras via telemetrics system, and was fun. Could hunt interesting shots

Every time my kids have a performance as part of their music lessons, I'm amazed at the amount of PTZ cams present in churches and the lack of them in music/theatre focussed venues.

Right now I think it only supports 1DX models.
