It all depends on what you use it for. For me, I probably adjust the manually-selected AF point more frequently than any other control (even including shutter speed or aperture speed). Used like that, and generally under reasonable lighting, I have had very few issues. That's one reason why I'll take the MZ-S, rather than the PZ-1p, as a film body to acompany the *ist-D, even though the control layout and operational style on the PZ is much closer to the *ist-D.
