About your question, the number of points won't do anything in liveview because the camera will be using the imaging sensor and contrast detected AF.

There is a D7000 video settings thread.

i don't do movies, i just do video for my 1.5 years old daughter, so acurate AF is very important to me. (also my wife is not willing to pull focus)

I haven't buy the D7000 yet, but went to try it at a local camera store, along with the A55, and G2. But i wasn't able to get it focus easily.

is face detection the best way to track a toddler?

what about Autofocus mode? (AF-A, AF-S, AF-C)?
Does the AF area mode do anything on video AF? like single point, Dynamic (9, 21, 39 point) or 3D tracking?

I am new to Nikon so i am not familiar with those fency AF setting yet.

thank you all.
