Sony A9 III even has a configuration setting of whether it should focus on the left or right eye of the person :) It also can remember faces and prioritize them if there other faces. Let's say someone shoots their kid on the football field and wants only them to be in focus.

The left eye/right eye option has been around even on lower end cameras for the better part of a decade, which is kinda wild. My fuji from 2017 has that, and Fuji are specifically known for having worse autofocus performance than Canon or Sony or Nikon. Nikon and Sony specifically seem to be top of the pile right now.

The Z8 has a whole separate processor dedicated to autofocus and the viewfinder which, in practice, means it can shoot 20 FPS full quality 45 megapixel RAW files with continuous 120fps autofocus without blacking out the viewfinder for each shot, which is absolutely insane.

The a9 iii shoots 120FPS 24.6MP raw files with continuous autofocus and without blacking the viewfinder. Top-end cameras are insane.

I sort of miss my Canon EOS 1 at 10 fps (film) when shooting sports. "If you saw it, you missed it."

The $$$ per second of shooting that is hilarious. I guess that’s what shooting IMAX feels like, but only for like 3 and a half seconds at a time.
