The blue Rover SD1 was taken with the 100D with a Canon 70-300 IS USM lens, RAW 1/400 F7.1 ISO 100.If you zoom to 100% you can see detail on the red cobra but blurred on the blue Rover.

This has NOTHING to do with focus.  Have a careful look at the picture.  Can you see anything in focus?

Now look at the fence.  Do you see that the image is doubled in one direction but relatively clear in the other?  Now look at the little white objects in the grass in the foreground.  Notice how they are all streaked in the same direction?

You have camera motion.  Pure and simple.  This picture tells you NOTHING about focus accuracy.
