It\'s not funny really. I just spent a solid week dealing with this very issue on a daily basis!
It\'s really, really funny that you had to deal with such an important issue.
Yes, it is an important issue for many. If it does not effect your usage, then happy you. For anyone who does not wish to point the middle of their lens at the middle of a dark object surrounded by darkness or shadows and pray it is in focus because they \"know\" where the middle focus point is and \"know\" that the selected point is still the middle where they left it and are sure it is happily catching a point of contrast to focus, it is a problem. If you are willing to accept the framing provided by your camera when only using center focus, go for it. Try doing night shots of the SF Bridge with your trusty center point on moving water in the dark. And yes, I am talking while using a tripod. Absent activating the AF points and manually selecting where you want the focus, you are going to be disappointed in the composition, the focus, or both. For landscape images, this adds an additional step in the process. For images created during an on going event, involving any motion or emotion to be captured, this results in missed shots. So yes, for me it sure does matter.

I have no idea what the hell you are talking about. The subject of this thread is about a PR announcement from Canon. It had nothing to do with what you are talking about. Did Canon\'s announcement promise to say anything you are talking about? No. Therefore there was no issue to get excited about.
Your issue or issues had zero to do with the subject of this thread.
I responded to a quip by another poster. You responded to my response, though I don\'t know why, as it
absolutely has no bearing on the thread, right? You then saw fit to respond yet again after I responded to your response. I humbly beg your forgiveness for a horrible breach of forum decorum which replying to another poster obviously is. I most certainly will do all within my limited to see it never happens again.
