I understand what you are saying, but I still am a little confused. You said to focus on my subject and then re frame...that is for off centered pics, but what about large group shots?............if I am focusing in the center will the entire frame be in focus???????? because I have had some trouble wiht shotting 3 or 4 people with it being out of focus and as well, how is the rebel better with flash..............mounted flash or built in?? thanks again Jordan

Jordan, if you need to ask more questions about this subject, just respond like a commentor (what I've been doing) to the existing thread. we're getting too many threads on this one subject.

I'm not sure why you would be getting part of the group out of focus. Obviously they are not all the same distance from the camera, but the Rebel's three AF points won't make this any better. What you need to do is stop the lens down to a smaller aperture (larger number) to gain more depth of field.

If you focus with the center AF point the outer areas that are the same distance will be in focus but parts of the subject that are farhter or closer will not be unless you use a smaller aperture.

The Rebel G can use Canon's newer E-TTL flash metering along with high speed sync for easier out door fill flash, and flash exposure lock. This only works with Canon's EX series Speedlites or others that are compatible.

The EOS 100 has the advantage with built in flash since it can give you flash exposure compensation that will allow you to brighten or diminish the flash effect.
