He cropped I'd say. He's a centrepointman only. The old 5D2 is not famous for its peripheral focuspoints.

It's one way to do it, but it does waste pixels.

With a 1D4 you could do this.

Yes, as much as I like my 5D2, not being able to use the peripheral AF point with fast AF tracking is a problem at times. However, it'll have to do until the next generation of cameras come out (having spent too much on lens upgrades already!).
