We should almost create a new thread about focus modes.
At an outdoor soccer game last weekend, I tried 3D and 51point. I didn't like watching the box jump all over the screen in 3D, so I didn't test for long. With 51-point C, I had a lot more pictures in focus, but not always what I wanted in focus. I think with 9-point and S, I get what I want in focus, but miss a few more. I need to keep testing (which is fun 'cause I'm taking pictures).
I think the focus modes is the one thing that really is a trial and error. I like your idea of a separate thread. See what works for others. I think a lot of it does depend on what you are shooting. I still think I had better luck in dynamic with 9 focus points than with 25.
