How many AF points does that thing have and how do you decide on which to use ?

61 AF points. The focusing is vastly improved over the original 5D, but I'll say this; The menu's are so ridiculously complicated I'm not sure WHAT to think of it yet.

I have NEVER EVER let a camera select my focus point. That's usually a problems nobody needs solved. I set up this camera to use all 61 focusing points, adjustable with the joystick on the back. It took 45 minutes. Inexcusible Canon. In other words, I will pick my focus points thank you very much.

Having said this, low light focusing is phenomenal. It also grabs focus on low contrast subjects the original 5D would have hunted for and probably NEVER locked onto. (Easily resolved however: Manual focus!)

So far, so good with this new camera.
