I've tried this with my 7D and it doesn't fix the problem with moving subjects. I'll use f/8 and even f/11 and still get OOF shots almost half the time with the 7D in AI Servo mode. With the 7D, the solution is to take lots and lots of shots and pray that one, with a good pose, will be in super sharp focus. Your odds are way better with the 5D3 and twice as good as the 5D if you move to the 1D X.

I'm talking about a super-telephoto. With something like a 70-200mm, this strategy works.
