My observation with autofocus has always been that unless I take a long time making sure the autofocus sensor is exactly where I wish focus to fall, or I am using a slowish zoom, stopped down, autofocus shots often disappoint by not quite having focus where I want it. Is this the possibly why you rejected so many of the Fuji shots, or were they mainly macro (which almost always have some oof problems IME...). Or is it just me who hasn't mastered autofocus for anything other than quicksilver grandchildren!
