Please specify why.

Because I rather rely on reviews of well known and fair reviewers instead of hearsay? This is actually all we have for the thesis that "any object tracking" works very well - hearsay.

Fact is,that typical Canon performance is not on par with the competition in this regard.  If they have not completely reworked their algorithms (and it doesn't look like it in the video provided in this thread by AtmaWarna and it doesn't seem to be the case in the review done by DPReview. I don't see a compelling argument why I should rely on "personal experience" (probably w/o any extended experience with competitors).

I would be inclined not to trust any review that shows a camera not being able to do something, unless I knew how the camera was set up -- regardless of how "well-known and fair" the reviewer is.  If they don't test your case with known settings, they might be right, or they might be wrong.

Please, no ad-hominem arguments.
