It's always difficult deciding whether to buy now or wait. However, if only to generate sales and keep up with the competition, all the camera companies upgrade their bodies at frequent intervals. There will always be a better camera in the future. What matters, though, is the present. Right now, you can get photographs that I seriously doubt will show any significant flaws looking back at them ten or twenty years from now using the 5D II. In truth, that's been the case for a while now with digital photography- you could say the same thing about the original 5D.
Ultimately, photography is about the photographer, not the equipment.
