Spot focus can be very useful at times especially when trying to nail a birds eye but beware if you try to us it all the time - because the AF spot is much smaller than the normal size AF area you can get problems when the AF area does not contain adequate contrast. I most certainly would not use it for all situations.Thanks very much for these tips as they had me playing with my 7d in about 30 secs to turn these features on and particularly to move the AF focus point control as suggested.
Hope you have a really good Christmas, you've certainly improved mine!
