I have a 5D Mark II in my hands for the next two days which I needed to hire it out for a HD video assignment at my uni. Considering I have recently convinced myself a 1D Mark IIN would be a better camera for me to purchase (hopefully) at the end of this year I also wanted to make sure I got a decent try of this before I completely make up my mind.

Having only used the 5D for an afternoon, I still know the 1D will be the better choice for me however I can't help but still want to buy one of these. The 6400 ISO on these is just insane, and every picture comes out crystal clear with perfect tones. Considering the 5D is 2-2.5 the cost of a 1D Mark IIN and not to mention isn't as suited to my style of photography I'm still very much leaning towards the 1D, with the hope that I can later upgrade to a IV or even a V if it is out by that time.
