61 focus points and all of them crowded together in the centre of the frame! What's the point in that? They could have used the 19 point of the 7D and had similar results. Is there anyone here prepared to admit that the only place they choose to focus is in the centre of the frame? Why not spread the focus points so they have a broader coverage which makes them a lot more usual in the real world.
It looks like 21 of the focus points are in the central/sweet-spot area. 20 additional points are to the right and left of the central section; for a total of 61. I thought the schematic showed some pretty good coverage. It also sounds like you can "program" the AF to track from L-to-R or R-to-L; which would be handy for objects moving horizontally across the frame...
