But I put Live View to work yesterday, so it is useful. I am sure you can use AF with Live view, it is in the settings somewhere. Photographic Images on Brett Butler

This is the conversation we had last night: Me: Take a look at this. (shows clip) her: is that the camera your getting? Me: yup. her: Looks pretty good, when you getting it? Maybe we should stop at Best buy and see if they have one in. How does she know the exact right thing to say.  But she already know's they are out of stock Photographic Images on Brett Butler

Maybe it might be my tired old 34 year old eyes telling me otherwise, but I only see one shot out of that entire series that's obviously totally OOF, and not "a few that look very backfocused". I'm looking at these frame by frame. And even if one, two or maybe even three are slightly OOF, I would say that this camera does a damn fine job considering it's maybe 3 out of 54 shots that look slightly OOF. ~Spaceships Don't Come Equipped With Rear View Mirrors~
