My R5 can't track my Schnauzer with eye-af due to his long eye brows... you learn to live with head tracking instead.That assumes that the animal eye AF improvements are all in the software. Perhaps there's another circuit or some other mechanical feature that makes the later cameras so much better. I don't know the answer -- but given the level of dissatisfaction among R5 owners, maybe Canon isn't fixing it using Firmware because it can't be fixed using Firmware.
Tracking weird underwater critters with either no eyes or very well camouflaged eyes means that center point point is my friend most of the time.
Eye-af for people is amazing though. Sometimes it misses from the closest person in big groups and gets another but using Set to reset back to a subject I want works well. So much more so than my 5Div ever did.
I have never changed the use case AF model or BBF or dual BBF either so I am happy with what it does now.
"given the level of dissatisfaction among R5 owners" seems to be a gross overstatement
