5D Mark II vs. 7D - Autofocus.

I searched, I didn't find. Can someone please outline the shortfalls of the 5D Mark II auto focus when compared to the 7D?

Shortfalls? Outer focus points on the 5D2 do not perform well in lower-light situations and having just 8 non-center points often makes you need to focus-recompose more often than you should, which can throw off your focal plane at wider apertures.

That's the short version. But center-point is highly accurate.

Thanks for the info, I also found this site if anyone is interested which explains some more:

Most likely it is spam that needs an admin to remove it.
