39 point autofocus just doesn't get the job done for DX.

Well, this version of 39 point AF, anyway.

Remember, 51 point AF works just fine on DX. And it will again, if the D400 ever appears.

I'm spoiled. I grew up with none. Focus points? Focus points? Geeezzz, I wonder how I managed.

I admire pros that used to shoot manually. I can't imagine doing this documentary style of shooting that way, though. Today's viewfinders really discourage manual focus as do the current lens designs. For posed photo shoots I enjoy using manual focus and live view, but it would be nice to have a brighter, split screen viewfinder.

Yep. A huge viewfinder really helped - as did a piece of 4x5 ground glass on the back and a lupe.

Hell, anyone can take great pictures now. Just put it on AUTO and burst away!
