Obviously you have no idea what you're talking about. All the E cameras
have three-point AF, which, IMHO, is more than enough for most
photographers. On my istD, I only use the center focus point and the two
points immediately to either side of center. More than that is overkill.
I'd have to disagree with that. The thing I like best about the AF on
the *ist-D is that it doesn't restrict me to a horizontal line of sensors
right in the middle of the frame. I probably use the central row of AF
points less than either of the other rows.
I would actually like to see another row of sensors between the inner and
outer row, perhaps pushing the outer row outwards a bit farther.
I have tried to use AF in the studio, but it is rare that a sensor is where
I want it to be to secure focus on an eye.
