This isn\'t about \"defending Canon\", it\'s about being pig-sick of uninformed, knee-jerk allegations of problems without anything whatsoever to back the allegations up, and, as in this case, a clear lack of any objective basis for the accusation.
Look again that the thread title. It is clearly implying that there are indeed AF problems with the 1D Mk IV (adding a question mark doesn\'t change what is being suggested), and this thread just looks like another example of someone desperate to be the first with bad news.
I wouldn\'t dream of starting a thread like this on the basis of a couple of minutes\' worth of waving around a brand new camera I had no clue about - I\'d assume that the problem was down to me, just as it pretty clearly is with the OP.
Keith, respectfually I have to disagree with you here. Based on my experience with EOS cameras, this camera does not appear to be working correctly, especially in the first sequence. I\'d say the evidence for this is objectively and fairly presented.
I don\'t get the impression the OP is trying to be inflammatory or is trolling (and we know who some of the trolls are on this board).
You are right, of course, that one example taken in an uncontrolled setting does not \"prove\" anything about the Mark IV autofocus yet. But based on Canon\'s track record it\'s certainly legitimate for people to question the behavior of the camera.
