ephotozine posted a set of sample pics shot with the Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS 1.4x lens (Amazon | Adorama | B&H) and a [shoplink 4119]Canon EOS-1D X[/shoplink]. Regarding the auto-focus they write:

Focus was extremely fast when used in combination with the Canon EOS 1D-X, with AF tracking enabled to keep track of the high speed planes at the airfield.

ephotozine’s post comes with more samples, and a set of pictures of the lens.

New Canon EOS 70D Lab and Real World Sample Pictures (dpreview)

dpreview updated their in-depth preview of the [shoplink 14246]Canon EOS 70D[/shoplink] with lab and real world sample pics (using a pre-production model). About the innovative Dual Pixel CMOS AF dpreview writes:

We’ve only had limited time with the 70D, though, which means it’s too early for us to say definitively how well its live view AF system works in practice. But based on what we’ve seen so far we’re pretty optimistic – it’s certainly streets ahead of anything Canon users have experienced so far.
