... as in 80 AF points vs 51?... Still, it would hardly cover the remaining parts of the frame. Would be just more densed AF area in the middle, which makes it more distractive when you look from the VF IMHO... I don't think I need so many AF points as long as they're not placed near to the edges (which is hardy to happen because of the size of the AF sensor).
But could be better if it would have more cross-type points... Or maybe the new AF technology used in V1 combined with the normal mirror usage (why not?)<img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />... Would not help with the price tag though...

Center is now more than enough covered, of course that I'm talking about frame edges.

A tough call really, don´t these "Nikon" DSLR sensors represent in essence just modified Sony tech?

No, it's different technology in Nikon([url="http://chipworks.force.com/catalog/ProductDetails?sku=NIK-NC81362A&viewState=DetailView"]D3100[/url], [url="https://chipworks.secure.force.com/catalog/ProductDetails?sku=NIK-NC81338L&viewState=DetailView&cartID=&g=&parentCategory=&navigationStr=CatalogSearchInc&searchText=nikon"]D700/D3[/url], [url="http://chipworks.force.com/catalog/ProductDetails?sku=NIK-NC81361A&viewState=DetailView"]D3s[/url]) sensors than in Sony([url="http://chipworks.force.com/catalog/ProductDetails?sku=NIK-D7000_Pri-Camera&viewState=DetailView&cartID=&g="]D5100/D7000[/url], D300s, D3x) sensors. Most probably Nikon labeled sensors are produced by Renesas. Nikon and Sony sensors have a different packaging and also Nikon sensors have a analog output(similar to Canon) while Sony sensors are unique with digital output or they were unique till Nikon 1 came out.
