If you track objects then I believe multiple focus points is a real winner. I personally do not do much BIF (bird in flight) or sports but I have seen detail descriptions of how those folks expect cameras to behave. I personally tend to focus on more static or slow moving objects and in those cases use center point only. I did once shoot a soccer game and at that time wished I had better tracking.

Yes, I know the feeling. I recently shot a fast sport with the wrong body (few AF points, relatively slow AF and tracking) and the wrong lens (slow AF too). It was a real pain, felt like a throwback to the (not so) good old days where all we had was trying to apply fast MF <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
