I never got the hang of the BG. I use the joystick to change AF points a lot, I guess that's why I don't like the BG cos it disorientates me, being so far away from the shutter button.

I might try another one some time, see if i can get the hang of it...

Mmm, I find that too. I wish they would put the joystick on the BG too. I know some of the Nikon BG's have that feature. Oh well....

On the 20/30/40/5/1D's there is a little 8 way joystick that you can use to select focus points.

Ah jury duty... BOOORING... Obviously never been myself but one of my teachers did and was gone for 4 weeks. When my mate got called up he simply turned up in a shirt with a rather racist message on it (A case where the accused was infact not caucasian) and he was sent home lol
