AF is for sure. I seem to have some strange Dslr problems of late. The D200 gives me fantastic static and macro images. The few times i have used ut as a back up camera for horse shows, it performs terribly. Back focusing, soft basically unusable images, but to take a portrait or lately my dew shots, are fantastic.
