I am with Rusty in regard to the method of AF point selection/movement: the Canon camera joysticks I've found awkward and annoying, particularly if the AF points are not red-lit. Therefore, I've been using the old two rotary dial method to move the AF point around. It's faster and less erratic. However, there is no free lunch there either. Since I shoot mostly in M exposure mode, sometimes I inadvertently change exposure when trying to move the AF point fast and shoot fast. I do not have a good countermeasure for that problem, although having well lit AF points would help. And so would a more robust and positive pushbutton for activating the AF point selection.
Alternatively, Canon should pay more attention to the joystick design. Those of us who photograph any sort of action would benefit from better method of moving AF points around fast and dependably.
