I'm not seeing a plethora of independent xpro2 reviews regarding face/eye detection. zip on youtube

I was thinking about picking up one of the refurb xpro2 units but now I'd like to see how the af has improved and not only on the 2.8 zooms. anybody got any videos?

Well the Face/eye auto focus feature does limite quite a lot of other features, specially in the AF-S mode, where if the Face Detection is enabled, you won't be getting any subject following. Also, if I recall correctly, on the X-T1, the Face Detection, also change the focus from phase to contrast based, which slows down the AF speed, on LM based lenses, it's ok, AF is still responsive enough, but anything slower, it really starts to struggles.

 

Plus, I haven't heard/seen any fixes about the Eye Detection being confused with the closest/furthest eye.

 

As far as I am concerned, I prefer to use a 3x3 focus area and move the group toward the face I need to focus on or reframe if needed.
