I wonder when the companies will implement a technique which I have seen with analogue cameras: Focusing with you eye. The camera recognized what you're looking at and focuses on that spot.

True seems strange that such a thing does not exist in the digital world, even not with the 1D I think? Although it does worry a bit as to how it knows where you are looking.

Because it's pretty easy to use manual focus on a small viewfinder such as a d70 or 20d when you're working with a quarter of an inch worth of acceptable sharpness, right?

Exactly.

I'm curious if I'm the only one who uses the custom feature to have the AF points selected by using the direction button. This makes selection of the AF point worlds faster.

That's the way I have it also. I call it the joystick button, and I have it dedicated to AF points.

I was always surprised this is turned off in the factory settings... i had just assumed that's what it was for. I always find myself quite lost when i use a friend's 10D and want to change AF point.
