You are correct. The physical area the AF sensors cover is the same in both cameras. So it would appear proportionally larger in the smaller APS image sized *ist-D. And yes, the coverage area was optimized for the smaller APS sensor, but it is still miles better than the 3 point linear AF sensors in ZX series. -- --Lawrence Kwan--SMS Info Service/Ringtone Convertor--PGP:finger/www-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence/ -Key ID:0x6D23F3C4--
