It's a real shame IMO, no matter how much more expensive the camera would have become with a different AF system.
This, for me, sums up much of the bellyaching about Canon products in general on these forums. The most important issue for the vast majority of customers is price. While enthusiasts and some professionals often state they're willing to pay more for the features they want, most people just don't see things that way.
Once again:
Even a "normal" consumer hast a right to get up to date tech.
If you buy a PC/MAC today, would you accept if its graphic processor could only deliver VGA??? Of course not!
You are right, price matters and I was not thinking about hundreds of $s when I wrote the above.
You see what can be delivered in consumer cameras for consumer prices.

(of course I do not expect a 5D4 or 7D2 AF in this body)
And if you've read other posts from me on this and also on other products you might have recognized that I am normally not in front line when it comes to complaining about Canon and their kind of product strategy.
But the 9 point AF system in a product released in 2017 is just ridiculous.
