At the time, I was dealing with a camera that had lots of low light issues, and I appreciated the ability to shoot without the camera searching for a spot to focus on. Today is much different, my camera is rarely in manual mode. Even if on a tripod. There are occasions however, that I will go manual. | |

In those cases, manual focus is probably better. However you have to realize that there a very wide variety of types of photography, and in general more of them benefit GREATLY from autofocus than those that benefit from manual focus. As a bird and wildlife photographer myself, I can assure you I'd NEVER get the amazing shots I do if I had to manually focus once every 125ms (the lag time of my 8 frames per second 7D). | |
