The 5D II is most certainly not a camera for everyone. The 1D3, 1Ds3, D700, D3 and A900 are all just as good or better, and would appeal to people in very different ways. I couldn\'t care less about the HD video either, but the 5D II is definitely my camera of choice for 4 main reasons .... good IQ, high ISO with low noise, compact/lightweight body, and price point.

you know guys after a second thought, i don\'t think that i will be very happy with 5d mark II, i\'m really used to the 1d series specially with their ergonomics, build quality. i need i really good water proofed camera for extreme weathers. I\'ve actually sold my 1ds mark II for the 5D II, but I\'ve actually tried the older one before, it\'s not like it guys, the options, controls, focusing screen are really important to me than HD movies or clearer 3.0 LCD, etc..
Plus I\'ve compared images between the 50d with Digic 4 vs 1d mark III with Digic 3
and i didn\'t see any substantial differences, instead i was much happier with 1d mark III results.
