Focusing is super easy with the 10D...turn all your sensors off except the center one then roll around to other SINGLE sensors if you need to. Or focus using the center sensor and recompose. I shoot kids, LOTS of kids, and use this technique 90% of the time with wonderful results. One thing I NEVER, EVER, NEVER, NEVER do is have all the focus sensors active at once...the camera will pick the subject closest to the camera and rarely is that what I want a shot of. Hope this helps you.
