Upgrading to 5DMKII

[Agila]

Thanks for the share, maybe the main reason why I bought a 5DMII instead of 7D (which I have tested it's functionally for a period) is that I like to keep my camera simple and easy to use.

yes, the IQ is different. 5d II photos are better in shadows and highlights.

Just want to share a review comparing 7d and 5D Mk II.

The image quality on the 5D Mk II is mind blowing. Even Nikon D300 cannot compare.
Probably for those undecided between 7D & 5D MkII should read it.

After reading the review, I went ahead and got the 5D Mk II instead of 7D.
And yes, I have played with my friend's 7D before deciding.

Ha! I did came across this reviews.
The side by side comparisons did really set me deep in to the thoughts and made me take the jump to move from 7D to 5DMKII.

Another good one will be from http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/full-frame-advantage.htm although I do not agreed with all his reviews.

Not sure what the reviews say, but I've had excellent results from a 1740 on a 5D2 when used properly.

I remember I came across reading 17-40mm on a FF will have a softer corner compare to a crop.
But I won't comment too much on this until I try out myself, what more did see a lot of amazing result on 5DMKII with 17-40mm.
