I have my 5DII for a month now, it replaced my 20D so I was converted already. But the 5DII is major step. In terms of resolution, but also in high ISO performance. That's perhaps the major improvement coming from film. 1600 ISO is still great, 3200 still very acceptable. It changes the way you consider available light. And for studio-like situations, compact speedlights are powerful enoguh. I So far, I've mainly done portraits with it using my 100/2.8 macro.

I love it...
