Indeed, I don't consider Foto Magazin's AF "success story" relevant since it represents an outlier. The technology is still flawed. If you take 10 body/lens combination maybe 2 will happen to be perfectly calibrated, 2 will be totally off and the rest will be in-between. This is why Roger's article is much more relevant: he tested a large sample, not a single one.

Now tell me, why do you think a company like Reikan FoCal is still in business if the issue doesn't exist? http://www.reikan.co.uk/focalweb/

Hint: that's because AF accuracy is indeed an issue with DSLRs.

 

Everything else you say is personal and opinion. I said it at the beginning: ergonomics are very personal. I agree to disagree and you should probably do the same since none of it is fact.

 

The last fact is that Canon's DR is sub-par compared to current sensor technology. You can choose to use a camera with comparatively low DR and be happy with it. That's all well. On the other hand, I want more in this regard.

All I wrote is valid, and you were the one shoving it aside to begin with. 

What is not personal, and what indeed is fact, is that my 6D gives me no AF headaches. And no OVF MF headaches even (except with my Tamron SP 500mm f8 ). That you have had bad AF with your former choices does not mean that the current Canon DSLRs are similar in that respect.

 

Again about that DR nonsense: A normal tonal curve has about 7 to 8 stops of DR. More contrasty images less. That does mean that 12 stops of DR gives a crazy amount of headroom already, and moaning about that that is less than whichever camera with Sony Exmor sensor is just nerd talk. Especially odd when someone uses Auto ISO of all things (since the DR figures mentioned always are about base ISO).
