Gary,
My main questions:
1. How quick is autofocus?
Pretty quick. If the Nikon 2020 never progressed, doubt AF would even exist
today.
2. Aren't there a lot of false focusing mistakes (ie autofocusing on
the wrong
point of interest) that you wouldn't have with manual?
I don't know about a lot, but you can see what it did and correct it, time
allowing.
and 3. If you use autofocus what percentage of the time do you use
the camera in manual? >>
I use mine probably 90/10 in AF/MF. Use the MF mostly at race tracks where I
prefocus and pan as the cars come by. AF works there but there is no need to
keep refocusing as I track the car to the point I take the picture.
In summary, I would get the AF since you can always use it both in AF and MF
modes but the MF can only be MF.
