The 7D manual explains how you can use the “AI Servo tracking sensitivity”, “AI Servo 1st/2nd img priority”, and “AI Servo AF tracking method” in scenarios very similar to how they are now outlined in the 5D Mk III menu’s. Using them I've made quite different behaviours with respect to tracking objects with foreground obstacles etc. So from my experience what’s changed in the 5D Mk III is as much making this a lot more useable as the technical improvements I’m sure there are in the 5D Mk III. I certainly appreciated the easy menu selection in the 5D rather than having to fiddle with 3 custom functions of the 7D. The 7D has orientation linked focus too, which I’ve sometimes used but if I forget to turn it off can cause mayhem
The additional focus points of the 5D, for covering a larger area more so than density, I like in the 5D Mk III.
The 7D has the same types of focus settings in terms of spot, point, point expansion, zone, full AF. There might have been one extra in the 5D Mk III I have forgotten.
