Calling D300 shooters

I just upgraded from a D40 to D300. I have a question of focusing. When you shoot sporting events do you use Dynamic Area AF or Auto Area AF? If you use dynamic, how many points do you use?

    D300 Af??
    I've been using 21pt Dynamic. Seems to work out OK.

    Same here - Dynamic with 21 points. Gives me enough flexibility to put my focus point where I want it without having to scroll through 51 points of focus. mwink.gif

    Ditto ... 21 point , dynamic ..... Although , if you have used the recent firmware update , 51 point is GREATLY improved !!!!
