I actually just completed a couple of work & personal shoots on a Canon 5DMkII myself and the auto focus is terribly slow. They have a face tracking mode, but if your pan isn't smooth its not going to be able to keep up. I did notice though in good lighting with a 70-200mm 2.8ISM Canon lens the focus was pretty decent. There's people with the right equipment making entire shows & documentaries with just a 5D.
