All the shots he showed were at low ISO. I'm more worried about high-ISO performance than AF. I did see a 50-minute video of a sports photographer using a 7D MkII on auto-ISO. His shots in the locker room were at ISO 16,000 and looked pretty darn good, so far as you could tell on a video. Everyone was raving. If so, then it's a substantial step forward from the 70D, which is barely better than the 7D.
I think he mentioned an 8 out of 10 success rate. And I agree, the ISO performance is going to be the big issue here. The 7D is no slouch with AF, so there needs to be substantial improvement with high ISO performance to get me to upgrade.
