    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.

    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.
