Goecker told me that they were from company that had decided to switch to Sony(!). The bodies looked pretty good (I don't need a second body, so I didn't take a closer look).
Plus a 1000 km. roadtrip to Denmark and back! The better option for me will be to buy a fully taxed (thus legal) R3, R1 or R 5II from Panamoz. Grey import, but with 3 years warranty.
Some folks don't want / need 45mp, or they already have an R5 and don't need the mark II version.
And yes, Eye Control AF!
They asked him about the response to the Eye Control AF function and he said that Canon were pleased with the response they got from their pros and that they are working on the second generation of the technology that will appear in several bodies, not just the next R1.
Based on that statement, it's almost certain that both the R5 II and R1 will have the newer version of this technology. I can't imagine them holding it till the next R3 II release in 2025
To me, sensors have crossed an imaginary line sometime around 2012 when we entered an era of diminished return but AF continues to improve with each generation and the benefits are undeniable for those who do sports and action photography.
I don't need to update my camera because the sensor isn't cutting it anymore but I do for the newer generations of AF.
