I think I explained (briefly) why I opted for the 5D instead of the 5DII. I tend to buy items later in their product cycle when bugs have been worked out and prices have come down. The early adopter premium (both in cost and possible headaches) is usually not worth it for me.Man, why wait and go for a 5D instead of 5D2? The 5D2 I bought works just fine. But one can always wait till it is too late :ROTFL:
I'm glad your 5DII is working well, others haven't been so lucky. If I decide I'd like to have a 5DII, I'll wait until the quality and reliability is more consistent. Like Marc Williams....I'm not willing to do the quality testing for Canon that that they should have done more thoroughly before releasing the product.
It will only be "too late" for a 5DII as you say, when the 5DIII arrives and no 5DIIs are in the sales pipeline any longer. I can wait.
