So, the AF system determines how soft/sharp the images are?

Better AF = More accurate.
More accurate = Sharper!

5D2's autofocus is definately not faster than 550D... both my friend and I were shooting the first pic below and his turned out blur tongue.gif

Forget AI Servo or AI Focus... just use old fashion center point focus either anticipate movement (manually) or prefocus then spray/pray. tongue.gif

Pre-focus on the road in front of the car and snap when car reaches that point. smile.gif

For still subjects, assuming lens calibration and lighting is good, 5D's AF will definitely be more accurate. Cannot deny that.
If shooting at shallow DOF at long focal length, very hard to anticipate as even the slightest difference in distance will throw the subject OOF.

The lens plays a more major role for AF tracking speed since the USM motor in every lens models also do vary in speed. Higher end bodies seem to be able to process faster and also lesser shutter lag..

But agree on the old fashion way as well.. It's probably the least-headache way... I do that often still. wink.gif

but my 550d seems oof all the time when using Ai Servo... or is it the body issue? I mean ... I use like 1/200 but still oof...  sweat.gif

Like mentioned by many members earlier, the lens motor plays major role and the overall kit also will affect the tracking..
Blur from shutter and OOF is diff... Maybe easier if you share the photo with EXIF and details. smile.gif
