Found this link on another site.

Some very good explanations of the AF system on the 7D

I'll read it later. When my head doesn't hurt so much!
But seriously thanks for the link.

So many options...I'm been using my 7d now for about 2 months, and I still dont really understand all of this. Generally I've been using one shot/single point focus (centre). But the other week I was photographing dogs at an agility trial, and used servo ai and automatic af - and it seemed to handle the situation pretty well.

Yes it takes a while to figure it all out. This camera perfoms much better than my 450D especially when it comes to AI servo. There are a number of custom functions like the AI servo sensitivity or speed, and tracking priority etc that I'm still fiddling with too.

Thanks for the link.
