As long as focus accuracy is within the depth of focus (surprisingly deep on telephoto lenses), or depth of field (surprisingly deep on wide angle lenses), then it's all good. I don't know how "less accurate" (if at all) Canon's AF is, but it certainly isn't going to be especially bad, or people wouldn't be buying their cameras in droves for professional use. Pentax AF may be a tad more accurate, but it is certainly less fast than the present crop of higher performace Canons, which, in many situations where AF is beneficial, negates the advantage of AF. Accuracy of AF with non or slow moving subjects does not necessarily translate into better focusing performance with fast moving subjects.
