Please convince me! Canon 5D2 or Nikon D700

I would only buy a 5D2 if I were going to only shoot landscape & I needed giant prints.

In every other circumstance I would take the D700.

wow.. i bet he already bought one of the camera

you have canon lenses already, so why not just buy a 5d

Take a look at the time stamp of these posts (2009) and look at his sig--he seems to have gone with a 7d instead of either. Looks like this debate is over--at least for the OP.

The 5D Mk II takes better portraits than any camera I've ever seen. Better Hi-ISO shots than any I've seen. Has better color than any I've seen. Of course, I actually own and shoot daily with a Mark II.

Nikon is a good camera but Canon is a great camera!!!

Just my very humble opinion of course........ and I never have shot a D700 as I'm purely Canon, and my lenses wouldn't work on the NIkon!

No No, the debate is over period, 7D > 5D2 or D700

The 7d sure interests me, but I don't need the faster auto focus or more AF points and I sure do love the full frame when I look at my lenses, though I do miss the extra reach my 70-200 had.... I think that, for me at least, the 5dII still wins out. Though if anyone wants to send me a 7d to test, I might find a way to change my mind. (same goes for the d700, as several friends swear by it.
