Originally posted by Wheatfield I also think he is right. A 3 point AF system is not going to hit what you want to focus on except by blind luck. The 11 point AF used by Pentax isn't adequate, and the 51 point used by the D300 is, while a huge improvement over either Pentax of the D40 AF, it still isn't absolutely solid, though it is very good indeed.
I don't know about others, but in every day's shooting I'm having hard time trusting AF system with more than one point at a time... No matter Pentax, Nikon or whatever...
With only one point in use, I'm always certain where the focus is... But as soon as there's more than one focus point involved, it becomes a wild lottery, it's hard to predict what the camera will choose to snap on...
KISS principle always seem to workout better...

Check your custom settings, switch the option 02 into AF-S Single-servo AF and option 03 into Single area.. that will make things a lot more certain, but a tad less auto...
