As a practical matter, I have no problems with the 5D2's AF in actual use. If I were doing pro hockey assignments, then it would be a different matter, but for cars, kids, landscapes, flowers, panoramas, HDR, etc. it works so well that I don't notice it.
Of course, everyone should realize that I'm "old school" and used a 200 mm "preset" lens for decades and shot Daytona and Sebring in the 1960s by knowing depth of field and speed needed before I even put the camera to my face. Also, I my longest lens is 400 mm (with the 2X converter) so I don't have the AF concerns of a super-tele.
