Usually a dead give away that the owner has changed the settings to smallest AF point in a Panny.

Interesting. I did move it to the larger AF point, and it focused faster. However, I tend to be of the school that I don't want the camera focusing on anything but exactly what I aim at.

Thanks for the heads up.

I agree with the "want it focus where I want it to focus"... and I get frustrated with the G3 for that reason - the smallest target (central point focus) is slower than if I were to enlarge the focus square.  It seems as though this hasn't changed in ..  4gens?
