IMHO viewfinder clarity is still an issue because AF isn't 100% reliable=2E=
=20
Many bird photographers with AF cameras focus manually for birds in flight=

for a number of reasons:

keeping the AF sensor on the bird is difficult
AF focussing on the near wingtip instead of the bird's eye
AF getting confused when the bird flies past a changing background
AF refuses to operate when the lens aperture is small

so I prefer to keep focussing simple and manual
