All DSLR camera manufacturers have problem to ensure accurate focus with 
different lenses, in the film age no one notice about it but the problem 
can't hide when pixel count increases in digital age. That's why we have 
focus calibration on the latest DSLRs. Even so I don't think it works in all 
condition, the Tamron 70-300 I had was working fine with my 5D II at day 
time but focus shift with tungsten at the short end.

I think mirrorless camera is the way to go, the focus of my E-PL1 is 
extremely accurate even under very poor light.
