Dude, I played around with Evan's for a bit (at our East Coast meetup), and that thing is pure amazingness. So much so, I've decided that I'm gonna sell my 5D and join the mile high club with you all. Have you played around with the Live view Zoom Focus thing? It's a freakin sweet camera. I was 90% convinced on getting the 1Dmk3... but now it looks like the 5DII will win afterall.
You should put that video mode to use and get us some more Hamburger Shark... in HD
For those who're in love and/or lust with the 5D2 and still don't have one (or just having a wet dream about it), may be we can form a Corporation and apply for a gov. bail out, eh?
How big are the files? Are you using SRAW? Does it focus better than the 5D?
I'm struggling with the focus performance on my recently acquired 5D... it's much worse than my 40D, and the 50D is better still. Makes me think I should bite the bullet and get the 5DII. I'd have to sell quite a few things to get the money.

Files are around 25MB for full sized RAW, around 16-18MB for sRAW1 (10MP). I use full size raw for most of the portrait and wedding stuff, while I use sRAW1 for the reception shots. It helps a little bit.
Focusing is faster than the original 5D for sure, but I'm not convinced its any more accurate. Focusing seems very similar to the 40D.
Doctor: Yes Mrs Hassas, we get this quite often with men when they reach a *certain* age. Usually it's with cars though. Don't worry he'll soon come back to you once he realizes it can't cook very well and doesn't keep his feet warm at night. In the meantime just make sure he uses protection, you don't never know what bugs that thing might have!
