I have and would avoid an eye-controlled AF system like the plague. I suppose if you have one subject in a photo and that is the only thing your going to look at.... you could look at their eyes and shoot.... The system seems to work well in the camera store and it does focus on whatever you are looking....... But, quite honest... I shoot, or I think I shoot a lot of things relying a mostly on peripheral vision for overall balance and composition.... I often make quick glances at different things going or people positions and expressions around the image.... or checking the background to see if anything is distracting or if it is out-of-focus enough.... The last thing I want is the camera focusing on the background when I glance at something entering the frame etc.... or when I'm looking at out-of-focus areas... And I don't want to change my shooting habits to conform to the camera's abilities.... But then again.... I haven't used my EOS in AF mode in a couple of years and never in AE....
