Re: 5d M III Viewfinder illumination and af points!

I think the part that you\'re missing is that the 5D3 / 1DX points are (1) much smaller in relative size area, and (2) much thinner in absolute terms on the screen. Both issues compounded very well make a difference between an AF point that you can and can not see. Add to that (3) that there are 3x as many AF points on the 5D3/1DX, things can get very confusing very quickly.
That\'s if you choose to turn on all 61 AF points. There are times when a photographer might not need all 61 AF points and might use, say, just 9 instead. What\'s more, your point doesn\'t address the fact that the AF point is not illuminated during AI Servo mode, which would largely nullify your point about the VF being too cluttered as only one AF point needs to be illuminated to help the photographer track subjects and know where the selected AF point is.
