We need to talk about Canon's Digic Accelerator – it's NOT going to trickle down from the EOS R1 and R5 Mark II

A press shot from Canon showing the inside view of a Canon camera where the Digic X and Digic Accelerator can be seen highlighted with a green and orange glow.

As a photographic journalist, from time to time I have the privilege of visiting Canon's headquarters in London. It's always an opportunity to see the latest equipment, talk to the Canon team and see what's happening with the company's camera lineup.

I’d been under the impression that Canon’s innovative Action Priority (a predictive autofocus feature for photographing sport) could possibly trickle down to cameras below the EOS R5 Mark II, so my eyes were firmly fixed on the Canon EOS R6 Mark III when it launched recently.
