>>4320718To be fair, the current state of autofocus is retarded nigger tier and still in its infancy.
Autofocus used to be better with DSLRs, on sensor AF is always bound to be shit.
Until the camera can sample the full sensor at like 1/250th of a second and do contrast detection on all photosites you have selected in the box, AF is gimped. It just is.
I don't know what to tell you, but that's the way it is.
DSLRs had separate sensors that weren't behind color filters and worked vertically, horizontally, diagonally, and could predict just HOW far out of focus you were and snap your focus to the right ballpark without issue at a rapid pace, regardless of light conditions for anything not super dark.
Most sensors have shit readout speeds and Nikon cannot focus on horizontal lines. (kek)
These are both things that can be fixed by changing the AF design on the sensors (to have some diagonal measurements, like they SHOULD have had from day 1 but didn't because they suck) but others are doing things better.
That doesn't mean the others are actually good, though. All AF kinda sucks after the mirrorless apocalypse.
Gigapixel sensors, 1/1000th readout speeds, no phase detect, just contrast. That's when AF will git gud.
Until that point, everything is copium tier. "AI" AF where it tries to track subjects is a meme, all people really need is quick reliable single point AF and that's easy to do, but is limited by sensor readoud/resolution at the moment on all bodies.
Nikon has the worst I believe atm.
