For me it is only perfection!
The D70s was a revelation...... But this for the time being is perfection!

Oh and you might want to get a proper fast card reader to go with it... try the Lexar Pro - twenty of her majesty's pounds from MyMemory and means you can copy a card quicker than you can make your first brew when you come back with your shots
So the 3D tracking is basically like a fancy auto focus that gives you no control, don't like the sound of that, will have to try it out though I guess.
the AF-ON button(which I suggest you want to use to activate AF and not the shutter release button!)
Or just turn the poxy VR off!
aha, thats all I need to know then, mine takes ages to copy across onto the PC, i'll get one of those and the new memory card.Well not all card readers (which is still what is built into your PC!) are equal... the latest gen ones like the Lexar Pro are seriously quicker - my scabby old one would take almost an hour to copy 8gb, the Lexar does it in about 12 minutes!
Think I need to read the manual some more then lol.Not at all. You pick what you want to focus on, an eye for example. The focus system then tracks that around the frame as it moves. Or moves the focus point as you recompose.
I'll have to pop over the park and try it on some birds, see how it works there.Maybe it works if only the subject is moving and not the camera? Like I said before, try turning on the AF point illumination and then try 3d tracking... you'll see it try and work it out then...
Why AF-ON?
Because otherwise when you fire a burst you will get the same metering for the entire burst. Fine if you subject is just sitting there in front of you, not so good when its a car/bike/aircraft whizzing in and out of changing light...
