[QUOTE="westmill, post: 52439, member: 9330"] There are so many things that can go wrong when focussing with different systems. How many people do you hear saying I only ever use the centre focus point etc. Then they will use an F1.8 at F1.8 focus on the eye then physicaly move the camera to recompose the image expecting the eye to still be in focus, instead of choosing the correct focus square in the first place. At huge apratures focus is critical because of the obvious shallow DOF. Having a good sensor does not make any kit lense perform worse either. A good sensor will bring out the best of any lens. End quality with these new sensors does rest on the quality of the lens though. If you want to see back and front focus issue forum you should check out Pentax K5 lol. I wouldnt say it was caused through user error as such, more pentax themselves, in hiding information. What pentax do is not tell you the size of the focus points. The centre focus point for example extends all the way out to the () spot metering markings. This of course makes it difficult indeed to ever be very accurate. I doubt this is relevent for the D7000 but if you wish to see if your focus squares are accurate just put a dot on a white peice of paper and move the camera around until it reacts. Ive tested the D300 and D700 and I can tell you these are very accurate and correspond to the focus squares as you would expect. Im sorry Ive not tested the D7000 because I simply dont own one to try. Another thing that often causes ooph pics is simply forgetting to turn off VR or shake reduction. These often take a second or two to settle and do not appreciate pics taken in quick succession. Finaly.... for the moment lol.... Higher pixel cameras do tend to need a step higher shutter speed to keep them pixels sharp. Forget 60th of a sec for 60mm... go one higher as your lowest IE 125th sec. You will see the differance.
