As others have said, I sure wish they could firmware me a joystick onto the back of this thing, but that's not gonna happen.
Touch and drag AF is fine, but despite all the customization settings for it, it's still just a little slow to move the AF point around. Setting it to relative is too slow, setting it to absolute in just one portion of the screen is faster, but just finicky for lack of a better word. I'd love to have an adjustable speed of AF point movement in the settings. I also wish I had the option of either using a joystick or the touch and drag, but they decided joysticks were outdated, or something.
Also, I know I've seen this mentioned elsewhere, but I wish they just gave us modes to have a smaller subset of all 5,000 AF points be selectable. Even if the camera has thousands of AF points doesn't mean I want to select every single one of them. It just slows things down too much. Just give us a spread of maybe like 100 points, similar to how a DSLR's points are, but spaced out across the whole frame. I feel like this would make selecting a point much faster and easier. Sadly, I'm not sure their focus is on people that only use a single AF point. Feels like camera makers want to push people more and more towards face detection and that kind of technology, no matter how inadequate it still is.
