How are you finding the af speed?
Fast enough speed, but what it focuses on isn't always easy to get the same degree of control over.
i.e. on A and P modes I've gone for spot-centred and I hold and shift the framing to achieve the composition. This is super fast focusing but obviously takes a moment to re-frame the shot once focused.
On Auto I've left it to decide whether it wants to use continuous AF or not, doing so means if I leave the camera on Auto there's a good chance I can turn it on and get a shot off damn fast. But... sometimes it will choose a different part of the frame to be in focus than the one I want. So in those circumstances I lose the good shot.
But then, when I left it on spot AF under my control I nearly always lost the shot because this was a quick reaction thing and I didn't have the time to get the composition I want.
The choice for "shit's happening, turn on and get the shot" seems to be "AF picks the wrong subject vs you decide AF but may lose the desired composition".
This is the only time I would wish for a touchscreen. The lack of that for this one scenario is telling.
This photo is the one that really shows the camera and lens off:

It was taken in the evening, in a shaded room. Across the room at the bookcase.
The detail is superb, the colours correct, the grid of the book case does not deform at the edges. It is sharp throughout. Any part of this could be cropped and you'd still have a big enough file to do something with, this image is 30MB as a JPG. I took it on auto settings and the white balance is perfect and I didn't have to go muck around with the raw.
