Should I imply that you have used  the EOS-3 and just don't like it?  Or you
can't deal with it?

I am one of those whose AF SLR screwed up more shots than it saved.  Canon's

EOS-3 is touted as having the most advanced AF to date, with 45 points under

eye control.  Guess what-- the EOS-3 still can't outdo my R6.2... I can look

at any point on my ground glass screen and focus on it instantly, without 
repositioning the camera.  "Eye control focus via brachial musculature with 
infinite focus points".  Beat that, Canon!

I don't drive a horse and buggy, but I'll take a classic manual transmission

Porsche 911T over the "Tiptronic" any day!
