[QUOTE="globeglimpser, post: 233993, member: 13858"] I am speculating over the following models: DF, D610 (39-focus point system), D7100, D800 with my heart leaning towards the DF. [B]However, I wanted to know from anyone with subject-tracking experience how good the subject tracking on these cameras is? I am thinking about focusing through a burst with a moving subject.[/B] Once you put the camera in AF-C, you have 4 options: Single Servo, Dynamic, 3d and Auto Area (I am not so interested in the first or the least) [U][B]Dynamic Focus:[/B][/U] [COLOR=#4D4D4D][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR]From my understanding, the camera will focus using the selected point and will the refocus using whichever point the subject moves to. Additionally, based on the fact that these points cover a "wide area", is it safe to assume that they can follow the subject even if it leaves the focus cluster altogether? If so how far can it go? To the edges or perhaps to the intersections of the thirds-lines? By the looks of things, the D7100 would track in the same fashion? Only better since those points cover a greater area... [U][B]3D Focus:[/B][/U] Not something I use often on my D5100... Just curious how it works and how good it is. What is the difference between this and Dynamic Focus? Which would be used for what purpose and which is more reliable? [U][B]Conclusion[/B][/U] Hopefully I can get more info on these two Af-C modes on the higher end cameras. Also if I missed something vital like another mode or setting which is critical in subject tracking, please do comment below. I apologise for all the questions but I really do want to make an informed decision. Of course I will fully test a demo model my self to confirm everything pre-purchase but until then, it would be great to hear from some users what their experience is. [/QUOTE]
