Depends on what you are focused on..

I am into the Canon S100, now... This one looks good, though.

You got me beat Dancelot. I have an S95. I don't know if it's focused but the question was am I focused.

That would be a yes because I had lasik surgery.

I have monovision. They corrected my dominant (for me, right) eye to 20:15, and my left eye to 20:60. That makes my left eye slightly nearsighted so I can read really well without reading glasses, or see really well at distance with my right eye.

They say that vision is additive, and so I don't ever notice that at all times one eye or the other is ever so slightly blurry. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

That is one of the nice things about my Panasonic GH2 as it has a touch screen that you can touch very specifically on the point of focus you are interested in. It also includes tracking focus so if you have a non-stationary object such as a moving dog, it will focus lock onto it and ignore everything else.

[FracturedRabbit]

Another nice thing about your GH2 and all other mirrorless cameras is that they are taking focus directly off the sensor and will therefore never be prone to the front/back focusing problems described in the linked article; problems that plague DSLRs, where the focusing mechanism is independent of the sensor and alignment problems can lead to out of focus shots.

I am not convinced about Lasik.

Better to wait until you are 50+ then have cataract surgery.

Vision from inches to infinity in both eyes, with no specs

and all the brilliance of the colours, you just did not realise you had lost

Amazing how threads get completely hijacked. Did anyone actually bother reading the OP's post?

Guilty as charged.

But it is no good worrying about the camera focus, if your eyes are not?

Read the article and thought I'd DL the charts and give it a try, for giggles.

Am I the only one that gets a "404 Not Found"?

I'm still waiting for someone to blame poor lens calibration on Taksin!

@ endure

I am right now, very handy. Need to check my Pentax K-5 and K-5 IIS.
