Both are 6mp camera's. What are the differences between the two camera's?

I have been to www.dpreview.com and tried other sites as well. I still don't
see any difference.

The difference is 2D.

:)

Focus modes are different.  The 7D has no scene modes. Burst capability
is increased on the 7D.  Viewfinder is better on the 7D.  There is more

The main difference is that the 5D is lighter and lacks
dedicated controls for the advanced features.

See e.g. http://reviews.designtechnica.com/review3189_main15953.html

I bought the 7D two weeks ago and I like it - the 'one knob
per feature' is very nice and it just fits into my hands.
I don't mind the added weight - the better lens are not
light either and whether the result weights 2.0 or 2.15 kg
is not significant.

For example flash compensation, preset or manual white balance (vs.
auto) and better metering controls - also, it has the better focus
control switch (A,S,C,MF) as well as the AF/MF button by your right
thumb on the back.

The 7D is a good deal heavier, btw, than the film Maxxum/Dynax 7 -- just
the 7D is about the same weight as my Maxxum 7 with the grip and 4AA
batteries.

That does get to one other benefit of the 7D - there is a vertical grip
for it, so you can use NiMH AA batteries as well, plus you get the extra
 controls.

Who's 5D?   Canon's is 12mp and full frame.

Body layout is a big difference.  The 7D has more options in a semi-pro
body.  The 5D is simpler.
The 7D has a LCD protector. The 5D doesn't.
There are capture mode differences I think also.
The 7D is built stronger and bigger. The 5D is lighter for the amateur
photographer and "ideal for travel".
I bought the 7D because I liked the features and the feel of it.
