Con
•••
Poor subject tracking in live mode
Subject tracking for the camera is somewhat unreliable. It works well if the subject is well isolated from the scene, but quickly becomes unreliable in crowded scenes.

Pro
•••
Reasonable continuous AF for video
760D uses 19-point cross-type autofocus and has a hybrid sensor that combines contrast detection autofocus and phase detection autofocus. For continuous AF tracking while filming the camera first approximates the focus using phase detection, then uses contrast detection to more accurately adjust the focus. It performs well with set AF points for tracking, less so using subject tracking.

Lacks AF microadjustment option
Autofocus microadjustment is intended to fine tune the point where the camera focuses. If the camera consistently focuses slightly in front or behind the intended point, microadjustments allow you to fix that. 760D lacks this ability.

Shooting 1080p60 requires using 1.3x crop sensor region
The image gets upscaled to 1080p from the crop region when shooting at 60fps. Though the difference between non-upscaled and upscaled footage is small and might go unnoticed.
