The 5D2 has a more accurate and more sensitive center point. Yeah, it\'s not all we want, but acting like the D700 had \"pro\" AF is sort of a joke...
After a little testing at PMA/CES this year, I can say with 10,000% certainty that the ACCURACY of the Nikon D700\'s AF system is far better and more consistent than the Canon 5D II.
I tested them side by side - my 5D II vs the showcased D700, again and again, with different lenses (including my 50L, 85L, etc.) vs. the Nikon 24 f/1.4, 35 f/1.4, etc., at wide open apertures. The difference showed me how pathetic a comparison the 5D II was to the D700 in AF performance.
