Thanks for posting the samples.

The real crux of the problem stems from shooting in Auto mode.

I'd highly recommend shooting in one of the "Creative Modes." This will allow the photographer to select the single center AF point with which to track the vehicle. Use AI Servo AF. I suspect that the busy background threw the (multi) AF off.

Not sure where my reply went. Someone must have gotten upset and complained.

The OP wants to use the camera in the same manner as the old one. It's embarrassing to advise to have to use more complex settings on the new camera to get as good as the results as with his old camera!

I was wondering where that part of the thread went too.  I had a great follow-up post with a lot of really good info on why Not to use Auto Mode.
