Getting a 7D after all the pictures I have seen on here, whats the difference between spot focus and centre point ?
With Spot Focus the camera uses a very small area to determine the focus. With Single Point the area used is larger. Spot is great for a situation like the one Roy mentioned - when you want the focus on a pinpoint area. The disadvantage of Spot is that the small area may not contain enough contrast to allow it to AF.
