I've been shooting for about 8 years, been through a half dozen cameras and with each newer model it seems as if there are more and more focus points along with numerous bells & whistles as an excuse to raise the prices. Why does one need 12 or 24 or 36 focus points? Seriously - all I want is for the bloody camera to focus on a center point. If I want the focused object to the side I press the button to focus center, then hold down, move the camera and shoot.

I have a Canon 5DIII and use about 4 or 5 of the available focus points.
