My auto-everything-including-the-kitchen-sink SLR allows me to manually
select a focus point.  It's very easy to get thin DOF and exacting focus on
the eye of your choice.  In fact, I can focus and then make the exposure, as
opposed to focus, recompose, and then make it.  I wish I could reposition
the rangefinder in my M6 at times so I didn't have to recompose.
