If you use the Canon or newer Nikon AF systems, there are two things to note:

1. You can program the camera to use a button on the back of the body to focus
instead of the shutter button.

2. The AF lenses allow you to override autofocus at any time you want.

So you can use the AF to get focus close to where you want very fast, and then
touch up by hand, then take the picture. The camera only focuses when you tell
it to. Otherwise it's just like using a manual focus camera.

Of course, the Canon viewfinders are hard to judge focus in. :)
