My experience is that unless you have a higher-end Canon or the Nikon D3 or D300, the camera will never pick the right focus point. This was an issue with my Maxxum 7, all of my AF Pentax's and all of the multi-point AF Nikon's I've owned(including the F100), as well as the Canon 10D to a lesser extent. The only camera I've ever owned that could reliably choose a focus point was the Canon EOS 3 with the 45-point AF unit. -Adam -- M.
