Always the big problem, SD1 and random AF.

Only the second photo have a good af.

I sold the SD1 after 15gg. Can't make 100 photo for 2 good.

Yeah, and I had more that were worse.

Still, sometimes it gets it right, and when it does, it's great. I will get another SD Quattro H, but normally I just shoot models with my Nikon. I make an concerted effort to shoot my models with my Sigma cameras though, because I love the results sometimes, even though I get more keepers from my Nikon. Hopefully Sigma will improve the auto-focus a bit more with the FFF, but even the SD Quattro H is a big improvement from the SD1 Merrill. I have to admit some of the fault though. I'm sure it can't be ALL due to the SD1 Merrill's lack of a perfect auto-focus feature.
