Sometimes I'll notice if the info in the viewfinder looks funny or if the wrong AF points are selected (like in A-DEP) but even then after I have changed the mode to the correct setting the opportunity may have passed by, such is wildlife photography. Yes you need your wits about you as constant changes in light, BG and plumage of different birds demand regular changes to settings but that doesn't mean to say that you'll always remember to do these things, after all we're human and we make mistakes.  Is it really possible to check what mode your in and all your settings are correct (or close to it!) every time you take a shot or a burst?On the subject of Canon actaully taking notice. I remeber one of DPreviews pet hates about older Canon models was that opening of the CF compartment (or was it the battery compartment?) automatically shut down the camera, losing whatever images were in the buffer. Can honestly say I've never done that by accident and yet it's something that Canon changed on their recent models. There may be hope yet!!! :-O</blockquote>
