So I’m planning to get a DSLR next week, and I was wondering if it makes a difference if a DSLR has only 3 AF points [you probably know which camera I'm talking about].

If I’m using Manual Focus, do the Auto-Focus points matter? I know of other entry-level DSLRs that have at least 7 to 9 AF points.

Thanks.

The Canon Digital Rebel XTi is a great entry level SLR for those who want to learn photography skills. Cpfitz14 gives a detailed review of what this camera can do for you and how simple it is to learn to use.

How does autofocus actually work on a camera? Do more expensive dslr’s have a better AF system than an entry level dslr?
Are there weaknesses to AF systems? Do different manufacturers use different technologies to achieve AF?
