i went to the camera store yesterday and asked for prices on each. i was quoted $3899 for the 5DII and around $2500 for the 5D.
I would personally pay the extra $1300 for the newer body which possibly won't be replaced for another 3-5 years.
But I have this nagging feeling that the 5D MkIII will come along sooner that the MkII did, cos of their (what I call) trial implementation of the HD video recording mode. I mean come on, 12/24 mins of recording only? Pretty sure they will release an upgrade just to offer "unlimited" recording, limited by the size of your memory card only. Or an option to attached a portable hard-drive. But I digress.

its out already??
if you're deciding between these 2,i'll say go for the MKII
i was told that it will be out in Melbourne end of November but they are taking deposits on it now based on a price of A$3899.
50D is out in stores tho.
Just checking. Which shop in Melbourne do you frequent? I assume its one of those along Elizabeth St.? Or Camera Exchange?
Joined the 5D club today! A$1925 second hand body. 2-3 sold for around $1750-1800 in the last week =(
Selling my 30D, 16-35L and 30mm to fund it. Hopefully I can pick up a 28mm f/1.8 soon too.
New 5D's are going for around the $4k mark now that the AUD is so bad.
my wallet dont even have S$1k, but got some thing that can swipe-swipe...:sweatsm::bsmilie: :sticktong
