[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 191691, member: 12496"] I agree, it ain't C. 24-70 is marvelous anytime. A tripod helps, VR helps, depth of field helps, faster shutter speed help, etc, etc. It may help to post a typical problem photo, in large enough size it can be seen. I'm thinking changing cameras may not help until you least figure out how to change your method first. My pet theory is AF-C, if it is not set to Focus Priority, which is not default (it is for AF-S but not AF-C). In AF-C, unless Focus priority, you push the button, and it snaps the shutter, and then it resumes trying to focus on the subject. If shooting in burst mode following fast action, maybe the 2nd or 3rd frame will find focus. If you are not following fast action, AF-C seems pointless. If AF-S (Meaning, if Focus Priority), the shutter will not even operate until after it has found focus. D5100, menu A1, page 158. [/QUOTE]
