hi all, just wondered what people thought about the performance of there dslr af system strong point and weak points, and how the rate it out of ten.
Mine I'd say 8 on the D3 - but really that's just me being cack-handed and not bothering to set it up properly to begin with...
Since I read a certain person's D700 thread I've changed the parameters of several of my custom settings and wondering why I'd been too idle to sort it out earlier...
My excuse that I was too busy using it to play with the settings would sound pretty convincing to some, but it'd still be a lie...lol
yeah would be interested in this to.What settings did you change? Presumably the same would hold true on a D300s?

40D - useless AI Servo, and hit and miss One shot AF with centre point.
30D/400D - similar, just worse
Canon and Nikon both offer "as good as it gets" AF in their ranges, you just need to look towards the top end of the ranges...
A Nikon equivalent of the 450D won't be significantly different...
Hmm.....maybe that's why I'm having such a hard time trying to get some crisp shots with my 450D + Sigma 150-500.....perhaps, but I hear of focus problems on the Canon 450D far more than any Nikon equiv. It's pretty much a known issue that they have shoddy focussing in quick-AF.
Almost all of my shots on one shot AF need sharpening to be acceptable. It's not as if they're wildly out of focus, but they are 'soft', and it's more noticeable when the aperture is wide open.
I cannot understand the link you make between focus and sharpness. If you can fix the problem PP by sharpening, then surely the image was in focus but either the lens is soft by design or the camera settings did not apply any sharpening. With a 2-d image, there is nothing that can be done to make an out-of-focus image suddenly become in-focus.

Time for an upgrade?
