[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 628092, member: 24569"] Well, in the film/pre-auto-focus days I certainly DID focus and shoot at the same time. That was the only way to shoot sports or other moving subjects without AF-C. Focus and shutter release are still separate things even when using a half press of the shutter release to focus. The only advantage I can see to BBF is to be able to focus-recompose OR continuous focus without having to stop and change the focus setting. With all the focus points on my current cameras, I find it just as easy to move the focus point where I want it in the viewfinder. No big deal one way or the other. Some people like to drink with a straw, others prefer mouth to the glass. :) [/QUOTE]
