Found this interview with a Nikon engineer interesting to get a glimpse into what goes on behind the scenes and how the new camera technology works when we press the shutter. Simply mind boggling to me but sure glad they know what they are doing so I can use it. ;D Nikon's Scene Recognition System in the D3 and D300 Cameras
Thanks for link Scott. It kind of explains why I'm using servo (continuous) focus again, and it really seems to work esp. with the 3D color system. Well at least I'm taking pics that are actually in focus now.
