UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------

So I've been messing around with the old Elan IIe (and the Elan7e to a lesser extent) and both had an amazing feature on them: the ability to choose focus point with eye movement alone. So far, I have found myself able to use it with very good accuracy.
My question is this - Why is this not included in any of the modern DSLR's? I understand it's more difficult to choose between 45 focus points than it is for 3, 5, or 9, but even the ability to choose zones on my 7D by eye control would make things a lot faster for crucial work such as sports. Has canon ever said anything as to if they're bringing it back, and if not, why not?
