In the conditions you describe I am surprised you are having trouble seeing the active AF point. I assume most of this work is done in daylight conditions so there should not be an issue of seeing the darker outline against a very dark subject, or is there?
Bright sunlight doesn\'t make as much of a difference as one would think IMHO. In these particular shoots my AF point is often placed on a dark horse, black cow, or other somewhat dark subject (regardless of how well lit the scene is), so it still gets lost easily. More than that, finding the AF point/group is not nearly as intuitive as before. For me, and maybe because my eyesight is failing me as someone else once suggested on here, the red flash of the AF point is much, much easier to see than the black outline. I pick it up much easier on my 5D Mark I, which I still use extensively, than I do on the 5D Mark III.
