that's a bit more useful, but even with a 6x zoom on the LCD display, it's hard to tell if the important parts of the image really are in focus or not. if you have adjustable focus points with visual feedback in the LCD, it's more possible to get the camera to focus on what you really want and less need for verification in the LCD. i find 5 points in a cross formation barely adequate. the 11 points in the *ist are more useful, but even then, i would like more. focus lock and recompose is awkward when you are working on a tripod and want to spend more time composing.
