The 5D was unveiled 5 years before the 7D which is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go into a full comparison, here is a short summation of how the 5D matches up vs the 7D for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 5D & Canon EOS 7D. The full galleries are provided at Canon 5D Gallery & Canon 7D Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to carry around your camera, you will want to consider its weight and measurements. The Canon 5D features exterior dimensions of 152mm x 113mm x 75mm (6.0" x 4.4" x 3.0") along with a weight of 895 grams (1.97 lbs) while the Canon 7D has proportions of 148mm x 111mm x 74mm (5.8" x 4.4" x 2.9") having a weight of 860 grams (1.90 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you are using at that moment. The following is a front view measurements comparison of the 5D and the 7D.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 5D and 7D is 55 and 56 respectively.

More often than not, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes just by looking through specifications. The picture here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 5D and 7D.

To sum up, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 5D with its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Canon 7D will provide you with more detail having an extra 5MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged 5D will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
