Why no Eye Control on DSLR's?

[mike burley]

I have found that the eye control is very acurate on the canon

eos 3 Film body. I use it every time I shoot, and am very use to and

spoiled by it. This is the coolest feature og the eos 3 and I think

one of the best features next to the IS and USM lenses. This makes

the best use of the 45 point focusing. It is a bit too long to

manually swith through the individual points ( I did that for months

before I found out how to calibrate the eye control), and the points

that the computer chooses NEVER grab the spots that I intend. (Please

correct me if anyone has any other experiences.)

My original point is that they dont have it on any of the

digitals. (that I have used. 10d/1d.)

Seems to me that the 1d should have that since its an action

shooter's camera. I think the 1D came out before the eye control did,

but Im not sure. But what about the 10d or the 1DS??!!

Eye Control was available before the 1D came out. The Elan IIe has been around since late 1995 and the A2E since late 1992 while the 1D came out in late 2001 - all according to the <a href="http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/">Canon Museum</a> ...

I didn't expect to miss the eye control of my IIe when I bought my 10D, but I do ...

I also don't why I can't find eye control on dslr, but is what I'm waiting before buying one. I hope the supposed comming DSLR based on the EOS3 will have this feature !
