The 1DXII AF was plenty good for shooting sports action, I don't think anyone had any complaints. It didn't do as well for such subjects as challenging BIF.
The 1DXII AF is not perfect, from my experience shooting field sports and ice hockey. You can do a 20-30 frame sequence and have it 'blip' a few frames. This is more likely to happen if the subject is somewhat erratic and probably also depends on the AF Case settings.
IOW, I do think there is room for improvement and look forward to giving the III a try.
A few in 20-30 frames is actually pretty darn good, I'd say. I was talking about conditions where literally less than 10% of the frames in a sequence were tack sharp at 100%... It did happen in a bad day.
If they have brought the AF to the same level of even the Nikon D500, they will have a winner in their hand especially with the light 600 III for sure!
