Any tips or suggestions on that front?

There is nothing wrong with AF, so long as you are using it correctly. dcstep mirrors my sentiment. Choose your AF point, focus lock and recompose. I use manual focus on landscape, night shooting, and long exposure, mostly because I am on a tripod and my focus point is off center, so I have to use live view and zoom in on my focus point. Live view is the way to get really pinpoint sharp focus, especially if you are shooting with a large aperture.
