Some things I remember that are nice:
- Better AF system with more AF points
- Faster shutterlag, comparable to the 1D-series of Canon and D3 series of Nikon I think
- 5 frames per second and even 8 fps if you add a batterygrip
- up to 7 frames with bracketing, which would be amazing for HDR(better than just the 3 shots for the 5D2)
Just some things that are very very awesome. In my eyes it's pretty much a 1Ds series camera in a smaller and cheaper body with a few less megapixels and without video. Since I don't use video a lot on the 5D, that big feature doesn't really mean much to me. And if I were to start all over again, I think the Nikon D700 specs would interest me more than the 5D mark II specs. Good choice Rodger[Y] Have fun with it! And good luck selling the rest of your Canon gear.
Update: the 50mm is gone.
Thanks for looking!
