This is one of those instances where if you actually pick up both cameras shoot with them the differences will become evident almost immediately. And again, I'm only suggesting this for tracking fast moving subjects. | |

The center point on the 7D also has extra sensitivity on the diagonal for f2.8 and wider. I am not trying to claim the 7D has a better AF system, but the differences aren't as big as you imply. | |

And, Servo focus with 45 AF points is amazing, your subject is pretty much always covered by multiple AF points and more of those AF points are cross-type. Using one, then the other in the same session really shows the difference. | |

The 7D is also a sports/wildlife/birding body as it has stellar AF and a high burst rate. The 5DII is indeed crushed by both, as it is a 3fps body. | |
