Do I really need eye focus?

The attached shots are shot using D3, D810, D600. None of the cameras have eye focus. I use a variety of dynamic sensors that fit each shooting scenario.

Yes, you do.

I’d take it as a compliment, Larry. I like the pics. Not easy catches. What do you mean when you say “dynamic sensors?” (Meant to hit “reply,” but I’m apparently not awake yet).

Nikon has several sensors that they call dynamic- 3D, 25, 9, auto & 51 (D3) , Grp4 (810). Then there is the good old single sensor.

I try s really hard to tell how good the focus is on these thumbnail images. We’d need the downloads.

Nice set, I try to focus on their eye's but many times they just don't cooperate.

Proving the point of eye AF value.

Nikon has several modes that use different numbers and patterns of sensors. With those modes except for single spot. Generally in any multi sensor mode whatever is closest to the photographer and falls within the pattern will be the sharpest focus. With single spot you can put it on the eye and focus. What eye detection gives you is faster acquisition since you don’t have to physically move the focus point and the ability to track the eye. The caveat is that Nikon has both human eye detection and animal eye detection, but animal eye detection is specifically designed for dogs and cats so it may or may not work with birds.
