@rji2goleez - So what you are demonstrating with your test is that even with the least \"accurate\" focus point, you were able to nail focus - correct?
What I hope it means is that the outer most focus points work well, even in low light high ISO conditions. I\'m still playing and learning what this camera can do and was only trying to relay what I have found to date. It is quite encouraging to me. I tend to be less scientific and rigorous in my experimentation and focus on the type of shooting that I like to do. That being said, I\'ve never had much issue with any of the focus points on the 5DII but then again, I\'ve never been alerted to some of these findings before now. I had the EG-S screen in my 5D II but I never perceived a dramatic difference. In fact, I was somewhat disappointed.
The game changer in all of this for me is how quickly I can achieve focus with AF confirm with my ZEs in the 5DIII vs the 5DII. I spend less time focusing, more time composing and bet I will miss fewer shots.
Ok thanks!
The reason for my questioning is that I\'m able to nail a good 90% of my shots with the 5d2 using my ZEs in a variety of conditions by \"eye\" - i.e. I never use the focus confirmation dot, or any sort of AF assist. I know that this is old school but I started shooting waaaay before AF existed! It\'s just natural to me.
I\'m trying to get a handle on how I\'m going to have to shoot with the 5D3. Will I be able to just focus manually using the 5d3 stock screen (as I do currently with the 5D2 with the Eg-S), or will I have to use AF points/the focus confirmation as the stock screen will give me enough precision for manual focus.
