I don't know about you, but I actually hated the 51 AF points. So freaking hard to select. I'm going to change it back to 11 points.

I love my D2H's 11 AF points the most. Very fast and accurate, and easy to use, and all on the most common area of focus.

18-200VR?

for me, i didn't mind the D90 AF points (11 isn't it?)

just that sometimes 51 AF point can be useful. either tried both, like both - still better than my 7 AF point.

I prefer to use 11 AF points myself. But the extra AF points are useful if you use dynamic AF.

When you try to change the focus point quickly, then you will understand.

I never get used to it. That's why I MUST have QWERTY phones.

The focus points on D2 series are far superior to the new FX series. With cross sensors across the frame. Locking focus is fast and accurate.
