This is the finder view:
The points aren't there but the grid lines show outlines of where the AF area is. Comine that with this is the screen that comes up when you press the Green Button (customizable button by the shutter) set to Center AF Point:
So basically while there are no dots in the finder itself, it's pretty easy to picture where the sensors are. You press the Green Button, it resets to the center point, you press a couple arrow keys to pick your point, and you're done. If you get lost, you can either look on the LCD to see which point, or press the Green Button again to start over.
Alternatively you can set it to only use the center point, or auto-select from either all 11 points, or the center point point plus up/down/left/right of it. I figure most of the time I'd pick my point, but for using AF tracking use one of the auto-select options.
Overall not too bad, the blinky AF point markers would be better but I did a lot of thinking about it and I figure this is doable.
