| Apr 13, 2014 at 0:44 | comment | added | Michael C | Just remember that due to the physics involved more sensitive (in terms of what is the minimum size of a lens' maximum aperture with which the point will function) also means less accurate due to the narrower baseline between the light from one side of the lens to the other. | |

| Apr 9, 2014 at 8:36 | comment | added | Philip Kendall♦ | What do you mean by "better"? More accurate? Quicker acquisition? Better at tracking? The answers to those three question may well be different, and (as already commented) may actually have not very much to do with the AF sensors themselves. | |

| Apr 9, 2014 at 7:22 | comment | added | Richard Smith | My gut feel is that more points are better for tracking purposes and more sensitive points are better for (extreme) low light. I can't substantiate this so I won't add this as an answer. | |
