When I did get around to trying a 77D with 45 points, the experience was underwhelming.

Read your rant, and I agree that using multiple AF points (at the same time) simply doesn’t cut it, regardless of subject or shooting situation.  I still recommend using only a single AF point, so that the photographer  can pinpoint exactly where they want the focus to end up, and not leave it to the camera (not even one of today’s technological marvels!).

IME the 45 AF points (or 143 or even 5,685 points) are just there to make selecting one individual point easier and more convenient.  As has always been the case, it’s still the quality of the AF points that makes the real difference.  That and the shooter’s brain!
