Even if you only use the center focus point all of the time you will notice a difference, especially when using newer lenses (designed circa 2008 or newer) that communicate more accurately to the body how far they actually moved when the AF system sent a command to move the focus element a certain amount. | |

With a reticular AF system and point-linked metering, you have far more points to select for off-center AF, which many wedding photographers have demonstrated lately and absolutely love. The new viewfinder is a hybrid OVF, with a configurable transmissive LCD allowing custom display of grids, AF points, etc. | |

That's what you meant, right?
