Yes. I keep the *istD in single centered AF mode. But do not rely only on my impressions of AF accuracy and speed, they are only untested impressions, not verified in any way yet. I am sorry I mentioned AF speed without making any tests, that is not a good way to provide accurate information. I intend to take my PZ1p, *istD and D100 and use them side-by-side to see how they compare in real-world shooting. I will try to keep the comparison as simple and accurate as I can with my limited equipment. -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com
