6D autofocus is a revolution

Guilty as charged!  I only use centre-point, and I’m so happy with a centre-point that really works, that  I forgot the rest. For me coming from a 10mp camera to 20mp , a little cropping to change the composition doesn’t hurt at all. Image quality is still better than before. But I can see the need of more focus points for photographers who really compose in camera. For a lot of my photography, birding and aviation, my biggest problem has always been acquiring focus on the subject, once I’ve got it, I blast away (and there I’ll miss the 40D), but more often than not I get a series of blurred images because I missed initial focus. This is why I’m so impressed with the 6D focus, I can’t compare with the 7D, I hope someone else will, but the 6D certainly blows the 40D into the reeds.  I think Canon had a stroke of brilliance here, once the nature/wildlife photographers realise how useful the 6D centre-point is, it’s going to sell like hot cakes, in fact I suspect it already does.
