I've been a DSLR enthusiast for many years, but there's no doubt that  
the 5D Mark ll brings it to a new level. Meaningful increase in  
resolution (to the point of challenging the best of lenses), and  
significantly increased dynamic range, are the two key improvements,  
though there are others. The latest Nikons offer similar improvements  
in low light shooting, but the resolution of the 5D Mark ll stands out  
even in that company. Those huge files take up harddrive space though;  
fortunately drives are cheap these days, but I also find myself  
weeding out images from each shoot more diligently than with previous  
cameras; no reason to save blurry 21 MP  high bit files!
